Abstract
Examples perform regulatory-compliant traffic checks for a wider bandwidth than a WLAN channel an AP is currently operating over before temporarily increasing the WLAN channel to the wider bandwidth to serve Wi-Fi ranging requests with improved precision. An example AP may: (1) while performing non-ranging Wi-Fi operations over a WLAN channel of a first bandwidth, perform a regulatory-compliant traffic check to determine whether a second bandwidth is clear of priority traffic, wherein the second bandwidth is wider than the first bandwidth; (2) responsive to receiving a Wi-Fi ranging request and determining the second bandwidth is clear of priority traffic, modify the WLAN channel from the first bandwidth to the second bandwidth to serve the Wi-Fi ranging request; and (3) upon completed service of the Wi-Fi ranging request, restore the WLAN channel to the first bandwidth for performing non-ranging Wi-Fi operations.
