    Abstract: Some demonstrative embodiments include apparatuses systems and/or methods of Collaborative Time of Arrival (CToA). For example, an apparatus may include circuitry and logic configured to cause a CToA broadcasting wireless communication station (STA) (bSTA) to broadcast an announcement frame to announce a ranging-to-self sequence of a CToA measurement protocol; to broadcast a first ranging measurement frame of the ranging-to-self sequence subsequent to the announcement frame; to broadcast a second ranging measurement frame of the ranging-to-self sequence subsequent to the first ranging measurement frame; and to broadcast a Location Measurement Report (LMR) frame of the ranging-to-self sequence subsequent to the second ranging measurement frame, the LMR frame including a Time of Departure (ToD) of the first ranging measurement frame.
