Abstract

Systems and techniques for time-of-flight (ToF) location determination with unmanaged WLAN are described herein. Information for ToF measurements may be received. The ToF measurements may be performed with a plurality of WLAN access points (APs), including transmitting an initiator message from the SET (e.g., navigation device) to the plurality of WLAN APs. Results for the ToF measurements may be gathered. The gathered results may be communicated to a position calculator to calculate a position of the SET.
