Embodiments for providing initiator-conditioned fine timing measurement service request are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a range management module is arranged to initiate transmission of a fine timing measurement request message for determining a timing measurement to a responding device. Timing measurement information is received in response to the transmission of the fine timing measurement request message. The timing measurement information is received according to the condition instructions provided in the fine timing measurement request message. A timing measurement is calculated based on the timing of receiving the timing measurement information.
