Embodiments of a communication station (STA) and method for time-of-flight (ToF) positioning in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, an initiating station may transmit a message M1 carrying a high-throughput control (HTC) field that includes a reverse direction grant (RDG) bit. The RDG indication grants permission to a responding station to send information back to the initiating station. The message M1 may be a timing measurement action frame. An ACK frame may be received from the responding station to acknowledge receipt of the message M1. The ACK frame may optionally carry an HTC field that includes a more PPDU indication to indicate whether a PPDU (e.g., contained in message M2) is to follow the ACK frame. The message M2 may be received from the responding station and may include timing measurement information from a current and/or one or more previous ToF message exchanges.
A method for time-of-flight (ToF) positioning performed by an initiating station, the method comprising:
A communication station arranged to perform time-of-flight (ToF) positioning, the station comprising physical layer circuitry and processing elements to:
A method for positioning comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores instructions for execution by one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
