Abstract
Examples of techniques for handling multiple fine time measurement ranging requests are described. In an example, an access point (AP) may receive a ranging request for initiating an FTM session from each client device in a set of client devices. Based on the ranging request, a plurality of burst durations, each for performing the FTM session for each client device is determined. A maximum burst duration may be determined form the plurality. If a service time for serving high priority traffic is less than the maximum burst duration, a subset of the client devices is selected for performing the FTM session, where a sum of burst durations for performing the FTM session for each client device in the subset is less than the maximum burst duration. The FTM session for each client device in the subset is initiated.
