Techniques for positioning with Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) messages are disclosed. An example of a wireless transceiver system for providing a FTM response message is configure to receive a FTM request from an initiating station, the FTM request may include a minimum delta FTM value, a number of bursts exponents value, and a As Soon As Possible (ASAP) value. The transceiver may send a first FTM response message indicating the FTM session is terminated if the wireless transceiver is incapable of meeting the minimum delta FTM value and the number of bursts exponents value, and send a second FTM response message including a status value based on the ASAP value in the FTM request if the wireless transceiver is capable of meeting the minimum delta FTM value and the number of bursts exponents value.
