Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques and apparatus for configuring ultra-wideband (UWB) communications using out-of-band (OOB) mechanisms are described. An example technique performed by a wireless device includes obtaining, prior to association with an access point (AP), ultra-wideband (UWB) information from the AP via an out-of-band (OOB) communication link between the wireless device and the AP. A location server within a network including the wireless device and the AP is determined based on the UWB information. Configuration information associated with a UWB ranging session from the location server is obtained via the OOB communication link. The UWB ranging session is performed in accordance with the configuration information.
