Here is the process you need to follow to range in background:

1. For any CLBeaconRegion always keep monitoring on, in background or foreground and keep notifyEntryStateOnDisplay = YES
2. notifyEntryStateOnDisplay calls locationManager:didDetermineState:forRegion: in background, so implement this delegate call...

...like this:

- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didDetermineState:(CLRegionState)state forRegion:(CLRegion *)region{

   if (state == CLRegionStateInside) {


        //Start Ranging
        [manager startRangingBeaconsInRegion:region];
    }

   else{

        //Stop Ranging
        [manager stopRangingBeaconsInRegion:region];
    }

}

I hope this helps.
