  • Patent number: 10694407
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide secure ranging measurements for wireless devices in multi-user (MU) mode. Specifically, a signaling procedure between an initiating wireless station (ISTA) and a responding wireless station (RSTA) is used to enable protection of randomized LTF sequences used in the secure ranging measurements. The signaling procedure may be performed in a HEz or VHTz mode and may include performing error recovery when operating in the HEz mode.

  • Publication number: 20190014466
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for performing secure ranging measurements between wireless devices are disclosed herein according to embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments use key values to indicate which LTF sequence (e.g., LTF measurement exchange) to use for performing wireless ranging measurements. A LTF sequence that is received by a wireless device that does not correspond with the associated key value is determined to be invalid. Invalid LTF sequences may be disregarded as signal noise.

  • Patent number: 9025493
    Abstract: A method of configuring an ad-hoc wireless network between an authenticator and a plurality of wireless devices seeking authentication includes assigning a wireless device as the authenticator and receiving a first setup message transmitted from a first device seeking authentication to the authenticator and initiating a first handshake process between the authenticator and the first device seeking authentication. The method also includes receiving a second setup message transmitted from a second device seeking authentication to the authenticator. The second setup message is received by the authenticator prior to completion of the first handshake process. The method further includes initiating a second handshake process between the authenticator and the second device seeking authentication. The second handshake process is initiated prior to completion of the first handshake process. Moreover, the method includes completing the first handshake process and completing the second handshake process.
