In an embodiment, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a fixed reference node, at least one round-trip propagation time (RTT) ranging scheduling message indicating a set of downlink (DL) ranging resource assignments and a set of uplink (UL) ranging resource grants, receives one or more DL ranging signals from the fixed reference node on a first set of resources identified by the set of DL ranging resource assignments, and transmits one or more UL ranging signals to the fixed reference node on a second set of resources identified by the set of UL ranging resource grants.
