Is it possible to implement FTM protocal based on this project? #121

FTM protocal is used for ranging, details can be found here:https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328327674_Verification_Accuracy_Evaluation_of_WiFi_Fine_Time_Measurements_on_an_Open_Platform. I just want to know is it possible to implement FTM protocal based on this project?

The referenced work uses Intel WiFi card, which does a lot of ranging calculation in the firmware. openwifi currently does not have these supported.

In addition they also use a different Linux kernel than openwifi, in order to use the iwl driver, so some more challenges can appear.

In short this needs quite some time and effort.

Yes. It is possible.

We have some results on synchronisation (not ranging, but basic concept is related). Checkout IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics. “Hardware Efficient Clock Synchronization across Wi-Fi and Ethernet Based Network Using PTP” on the publication page.

Thanks for kind reply!
