Abstract
A network entity and a method of the network entity in a wireless communication system supporting ranging capability are provided. The network entity and the method comprise: identifying, by a higher layer of the network entity, a ranging reply time node list (RrtiNodeList) indicating a list of neighbor network entities for which ranging reply time instantaneous information elements (RRTI IEs) are requested along with receive ranging counter values; generating, by the higher layer of the network entity, a MCPS-DATA.request primitive including the RrtiNodeList; transmitting, to a MAC layer of the network entity, the generated MCPS-DATA.request primitive; and transmitting, to another network entity in the list of neighboring network entities, MAC data including ranging information, the RRTI, and ranging measurement information IEs (RMI IEs), wherein the MAC layer of the network entity is further configured to transmit, to the higher layer of the network entity, an MCPS-DATA.confirm primitive.
