A method and system for determining a minimum time of flight between communication devices is useful for correcting ranging errors induced by multi-path signals. The method includes transmitting a range request message, including a first periodically repeating synchronization sequence, from the first communication device via a first RF channel to the second communication device (step 91). A range response message, including a second periodically repeating synchronization sequence and a minimum path turn around time, is then received at the first communication device via a second RF channel from the second communication device (step 92). A change in the second RF channel is induced after receipt of each synchronization sequence. A minimum path round trip time is then determined from multiple time of arrival determinations (step 93). Finally, the minimum time of flight is calculated from the minimum path round trip time and the minimum path turn around time (step 94).
