Examples of techniques for handling fine time measurement ranging requests are described. In an example, an access point (AP) may receive a ranging request for initiating a Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) session. Responsive to determining that the client device is associated with the AP, it is determined that the ranging request is received after a threshold time from expiry of an FTM burst period of the client device. It is determined that the ranging request is within an FTM acceptance threshold of the AP. A number of consecutive unsuccessful FTM bursts between the AP and the client device is determined. In response to determining that the number of consecutive unsuccessful FTM bursts is less than an unsuccessful burst threshold of the AP, the FTM session may be initiated based on the ranging request.
