Abstract
Examples described herein provide coordinated ranging between APs in a network. Examples described herein may receive, by a computing device, neighbor adjacency information for a plurality of access points (APs) in a network, and based on the neighbor adjacency information, assign, by the computing device, subsets of the plurality of APs to non-overlapping zones. Examples described herein may initiate, by the computing device for each of the non-overlapping zones, ranging measurements between the subset of APs in the zone to generate a ranging result, wherein the ranging measurements between the subsets of APs in the non-overlapping zones are performed in parallel. Examples described herein may, based on the ranging results, resolve, by the computing device, locations of the plurality of APs.
