Abstract
Examples described herein provide channel assignments for ranging between network devices in a network during beacon intervals. Examples described herein may assign a plurality of channels to a plurality of network devices based on a plurality of channel assignment permutations, and initiate, during beacon intervals, ranging measurements between the plurality of network devices on the plurality of channels based on each of the channel assignment permutations to generate ranging results. Examples described herein may determine whether total ranging measurements are performed for a threshold percentage of available links between the plurality of network devices on the plurality of channels, wherein the total ranging measurements include the ranging measurements based on each of the channel assignment permutations. Examples described herein may, based on a determination that the total ranging measurements are performed for the threshold percentage of available links, resolve locations of the plurality of APs based on the ranging results.
