Abstract

A method of performing ranging, by a first device, with respect to a second device is provided. According to an embodiment, the method includes: receiving, by the first device, a plurality of timestamps including a first timestamp and a second timestamp, and determining, by the first device, a range R with respect to the second device by calculating an average time-of-flight (TOF) of the first wireless signal and the second wireless signal based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp. The first timestamp indicates a time-of-arrival (TOA) of a first wireless signal arriving at the second device, a maximum possible value of the first timestamp being T. The second timestamp indicates a time-of-departure (TOD) of a second wireless signal departing from the second device, and a maximum possible value of the second timestamp being Tand greater than T.
