Abstract: A bulk propagation fine timing measurement (BFTM) allocation message is generated by a scheduling mobile computing device that identifies other mobile computing devices in the area. The BFTM allocation message generated by the scheduling mobile computing device indicates a scheduling order for the identified mobile computing devices and contention-free periods for the mobile computing devices to transmit the timing measurement messages. The responding mobile computing devices generate bulk propagation timing measurement (BPTM) messages that include propagation times between pairs of mobile computing devices—either two other devices or the responding device and another device. These BPTM messages are then transmitted during scheduled times frames indicated in the scheduling order.

Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to the scheduling and transmission of timing measurements between mobile computing devices in an area to determine the devices' locations. A bulk fine timing measurement (BFTM) allocation message is generated by a scheduling mobile computing device that identifies other mobile computing devices in the area. The BFTM allocation message generated by the scheduling mobile computing device indicates a time of delivery (TOD), a scheduling order for the identified mobile computing devices, and a contention-free period for the mobile computing devices to transmit the timing measurement messages. The mobile computing devices generate BFTM timing message, which include times of arrival (TOAs) or propagation timing estimates, associated with message from other devices. The scheduling order indicates a sequence of transmissions (e.g.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer programs for assigning measurement groups in a wireless network are disclosed. The measurement group may be announced by measurement group information comprised in a broadcast message transmitted in the wireless network. Reporting may be triggered by transmission of a request-to-report message transmitted in the wireless network.

Abstract: In one aspect the embodiments of the invention provide a method that includes transmitting a first frame comprising a first type of message from a first node for reception by a second node. The first node is associated with a first wireless communication system and the second node is associated with a second wireless communication system.
