Abstract: The disclosure provides some embodiments for securing long training field (LTF) sequence. A responding station (RSTA) configures a location management report (LMR) frame. The LMR frame is configured to include an LMR in respect of a previous measurement, and data to be used to generate a null data packet (NDP) for a current measurement that is to be performed following the previous measurement. The RSTA further encrypts the LMR frame using protected management frames (PMF) scheme, and transmits the encrypted LMR frame to an initiating station (ISTA) for generating an LTF sequence for the current measurement. In response to receiving an NDP announcement (NDPA) and an NDP for the current measurement from the ISTA, the RSTA generates an NDP for the current measurement based on the NDPA and the data using CCMP, and transmits the NDP to the ISTA.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to enhanced fine timing measurement protocol negotiation. A device may identify an enhanced fine timing measurement request received from a first device, the enhanced fine timing measurement request comprising one or more information elements associated with one or more multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) parameters. The device may cause to send an enhanced fine timing measurement response to the first device. The device may identify a null data packet announcement associated with a location determination of the first device. The device may identify a null data packet received from the first device.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer-readable media are described to encode a trigger frame for a second station (STA2). A first sounding frame for the STA2 is generated. The first timestamp is associated with a transmission of the first sounding frame. A second sounding frame from the STA2 based upon the first sounding frame is decoded. The second sounding frame includes a holding time indication associated with a second timestamp and a third timestamp. A fourth timestamp is associated with receiving the second sound frame. The holding time indication is protected. A round-trip time is calculated based upon the first timestamp, the holding time indication, and the fourth timestamp.
