Abstract
A controller of a first communication device records a first time value of a first clock corresponding to transmission of a first communication frame associated with a timing measurement procedure. If an acknowledgment of the first communication frame was received by the first communication device, the controller records a second time value of the first clock. The controller receives a data unit corresponding to a second communication frame associated with the timing measurement procedure, wherein the data unit includes a time value of a second clock. If an acknowledgment of the first communication frame was not received, the controller compares the first time value of the first clock to the time value of the second clock, and uses i) the first time value of the first clock, and ii) the time value of the second clock to adjust time values corresponding to the first clock responsive to the comparison.
