A method for autonomous ranging between Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices. A mobile device transmits a probe request to a target mobile device via a wireless channel, and receives a probe response from the target device. The probe response includes identification information associated with the target device. The mobile device uses the identification information to transmit a data packet to the target device via the wireless channel, and without communicating with any wireless access points. The mobile device then receives a reply packet from the target device and determines a distance to the target device based on a round trip time between the transmission of the data packet and the reception of the reply packet.
