Realistic Wait With Wireless Peripheral

The peripheral would wait, depending on the size of the data and how far it is from the destination.

Not going to happen. 64 blocks distance isn't that far away. If you really want to do this, you can implement it in Lua yourself. Create your own command which checks for the rednet_message like rednet.receive does, and depending on the result of the distance parameter, start a timer and then return the message when the timer event is found.

Of course it would be a LITTLE more complicated - you would want to store rednet events you receive in the mean time so you don't miss data, but if you want it that badly I'm sure you can work it out.

Is there a wy to get the distance of a received message?

You can pull it off the rednet message.

id, msg, distance = rednet.receive()

Check out the GPS program/API its in part how the host work.

So i need a gps! Thx for that info

No, you don't need a GPS. The distance is provided regardless - that is how the GPS works. See above for how to do it using a plain old rednet message.
