First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- performing a fine timing measurement procedure with a wireless device to determine a propagation time for signals exchanged with the wireless device, the propagation time based at least in part on timing information exchanged during the fine timing measurement procedure;
determining a proximity to the wireless device based on the propagation time; and
performing a wireless docking session with the wireless device based at least in part on the proximity determined using the fine timing measurement procedure.

Abstract
A wireless dockee or a wireless docking center may utilize a fine timing measurement procedure to determine propagation times for signals communicated between the devices. Based on the propagation time, the wireless dockee or the wireless docking center may calculate their proximity to each other. When the proximity supports a wireless docking session, the wireless dockee or the wireless docking center may initiate a wireless docking session. The wireless docking session may include docking the wireless dockee to the wireless docking center and/or undocking the wireless dockee to the wireless docking center.
