Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for performing ranging operations. In one aspect, an apparatus negotiates a passive ranging schedule between an initiator device and a number of responder devices. The passive ranging schedule indicates a time prior to a selected target beacon transmission time (TBTT) at which the ranging operation is to commence. The apparatus announces the passive ranging schedule to at least one or more passive listening devices, commences the ranging operation at the indicated time by exchanging a number of frames between the initiator device and the number of responder devices, and completes the exchange of frames prior to the selected TBTT.

Claim (Index 11):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein exchanging the number of frames further comprises:\n receiving, from each of the responder devices, an uplink multi-user (UL MU) frame including timing information indicating TOD values of the UL MU-NDPs transmitted from the responder devices and indicating TOA values of the DL NDP arriving at the responder devices.
