    Abstract: Techniques are provided for utilizing Wi-Fi positioning based contact tracing. An example method for reporting signal measurements to a contact tracing network includes activating a contact tracing application on a user equipment based on a proximity to the contact tracing network, receiving one or more measurement signals from a station in the contact tracing network, and reporting a signal measurement and station identification to a network entity.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for improving ranging accuracy of ultrawideband (UWB) devices. An example method for obtaining a distance measurement with a wireless node includes obtaining a first distance measurement using a first radio link, determining a status of a second radio link in response to the first distance measurement being less than a threshold distance, configuring one or more transceiver parameters associated with the second radio link in response to determining the second radio link is utilizing a non-line of sight path, and obtaining a second distance measurement using the second radio link and the one or more transceiver parameters.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for performing radio frequency (RF) sensing to determine the viewing status of a television user. This can be used to determine user behavior during the playback of content (e.g., whether a user is watching the content), which can be used as a data point for determining the user's level of interest in the content. Using the status of the television user, embodiments can provide additional or alternative functionality, such as powering down and/or powering up the television. Furthermore, RF sensing may be performed by existing television hardware, such a Wi-Fi transceiver, and may therefore provide RF sensing functionality to a television with little or no added cost.

    Abstract: Ranging operations may be performed between an initiator device and a responder device using data frames as opposed to fine timing measurement (FTM) frames or Null Data Packet (NDP) frames. An initiator device may request the responder device to perform a ranging operation. The responder device may transmit a data frame to the initiator device and may receive an acknowledgement (ACK) frame from the responder device. The responder device may transmit a second data frame to the initiator device that includes ranging measurement information for the previous message exchange, including a time of departure of the data frame and a time of arrival of the ACK frame. Because data frames are encrypted, the ranging measurement information is provided in a secure manner. Moreover, by including the ranging measurement information in data frames, throughput for the ranging procedure is improved.
