measuring a fifth time (T RS) for the second signal to propagate between a first end receive air frame detector and a first end data receive system, the first end receive air frame detector and the first end data receive system being at the first end transceiver; measuring a sixth time (T AS) based on when the second signal is received by the first end data receive system to when the first signal is received by the first end data input transmit system; determining a seventh time (T BC) for the first signal to propagate between the first end transmit air frame detector and the second end receive air frame detector across the wireless communication channel based on the first time, second time, third time, fourth time, fifth time and sixth time;
