    • A method for allowing one or both of a first wireless communications device and a second wireless communications device to determine an estimate of a distance between the first and second wireless communication devices, the method comprising while operating in a first mode of operation, receiving by the second wireless communications device a first type signal as a beacon signal requesting the second wireless communications device to transmit a second type signal, the beacon signal transmitted by the first wireless communications device, in response to receiving the beacon signal, the second wireless communications device transmitting the second type signal, the second type signal being a first synchronisation signal and indicating that the first wireless communications device is to transmit a second synchronisation signal, determining a first time at which the first synchronisation signal is transmitted, and operating in a second mode of operation in which the first device monitors for a second type signal transmitted by the first wireless communications device in response to the first synchronisation signal. The method further comprises receiving a second synchronisation signal transmitted by the first device, and determining a second time at which the second synchronisation signal is received, wherein one or both of the first wireless communications device and the second wireless communications device are able to determine the estimate of the distance between the first and second wireless communications devices, the estimate of the distance based on a first duration and a second duration, the second duration being a time period between the first time and the second time, the first duration being a time period between a third time and a fourth time, the third time being a time at which the first wireless communications device received the first synchronisation signal and the fourth time being a time at which the first wireless communications device transmitted the second synchronisation signal.
