US Patent 11510172 Device detection and locationing within a wireless network

Technologies directed to device detection and locationing are described. One method includes establishing a first wireless connection between a first wireless device and a second wireless device on a first channel. The first wireless device sends to the second wireless device a first indication that the first wireless device is to operate in an off-channel mode with a third wireless device at a first location a Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) procedure. The first wireless device performs a first FTM process between the first wireless device and the third wireless device. The first device determines first timing data including a signal round trip time (RRT) associated with the first FTM process and determines a first distance between the first wireless device and the third wireless device based on the first timing data. A second location of the first wireless device is determined using the first distance.
