An apparatus comprising a memory and a processor configured to cause a first wireless station to:
- process a Location Configuration Information (LCI) request from a second wireless station, the LCI request comprising a field comprising an identifier of a third wireless station, and a field to indicate a location request for the third wireless station;
- and
- transmit an LCI report to the second wireless station, the LCI report comprising location information corresponding to the third wireless station.
A product comprising one or more tangible computer-readable non-transitory storage media comprising computer-executable instructions operable to, when executed by at least one computer processor, enable the at least one computer processor to cause a first wireless station to:
- process a Location Configuration Information (LCI) request from a second wireless station, the LCI request comprising a field comprising an identifier of a third wireless station, and a field to indicate a location request for the third wireless station;
- and
- transmit an LCI report to the second wireless station, the LCI report comprising location information corresponding to the third wireless station.
