POSITIONING WITH ACCESS NETWORK QUERY PROTOCOL NEIGHBOR REPORTS

摘要

Techniques for determining the position of a client station based on Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) neighbor reports are disclosed. An example of a wireless transceiver system for providing a neighbor report in an ANQP query response message a memory, at least one processor operably coupled to the memory and configure to determine neighbor position information, receive an ANQP query request from a client station prior to performing a wireless client association process, generate a neighbor report, and send an ANQP query response including the neighbor report to the client station. The neighbor report may be ordered and the client station may be configured to initiate Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) sessions based on the order of the station within the neighbor report.

1. A wireless transceiver system for providing a neighbor report in an Access Network Query Protocol (ANQP) query response message, comprising:
a memory; a receiver to receive an ANQP query request, wherein the ANQP query request includes a request for the neighbor report; at least one processor operably coupled to the memory and configured to:
determine neighbor position information;receive the ANQP query request from an unattached client station; and a transmitter to send an ANQP query response including the neighbor report to the unattached client station.
