Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure describes methods and apparatus for enabling spontaneous location determination in a scheduled wireless communication environment. For example embodiments, a first wireless communication device includes a transceiver and a multiple recipient communication system. The transceiver is configured to receive from a second wireless communication device a request to participate in a location determination procedure (LDP) that is to occur at least partially during a communication period that is assigned to a third wireless communication device. The multiple recipient communication system is configured to generate a multiple recipient frame that encapsulates (i) data that is destined for the third wireless communication device and (ii) a response to the request to participate in the LDP. For other example embodiments, a multiple recipient communication system of the second wireless communication device is configured to extract the response to the request to participate in the LDP from the multiple recipient frame.
