Reported mobile device location assessment

A network entity comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive a reported user-equipment (UE) location;
• obtain a first signal frequency difference indicating a first difference between a first received frequency of a first signal and a second received frequency of a second signal, the first signal received by the UE and corresponding to a first transmit signal of a first transmit frequency transmitted from a first non-terrestrial-network node, and the second signal received by the UE and corresponding to a second transmit signal of a second transmit frequency transmitted from a second non-terrestrial-network node that is separate from the first non-terrestrial-network node;
• and
• provide a UE location assessment indication based on the first signal frequency difference and based on a second signal frequency difference, that is a second difference between an expected frequency of the first signal at the reported UE location and an expected frequency of the second signal at the reported UE location.

A network entity comprising:

• means for receiving a reported user-equipment (UE) location;
• means for obtaining a first signal frequency difference indicating a first difference between a first received frequency of a first signal and a second received frequency of a second signal, the first signal received by the UE corresponding to a first transmit signal of a first transmit frequency transmitted from a first non-terrestrial-network node, and the second signal received by the UE and corresponding to a second transmit signal of a second transmit frequency transmitted from a second non-terrestrial-network node that is separate from the first non-terrestrial-network node;
• and
• means for providing a UE location assessment indication based on the first signal frequency difference and based on a second signal frequency difference, that is a second difference between an expected frequency of the first signal at the reported UE location and an expected frequency of the second signal at the reported UE location.

A non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium comprising processor-readable instructions to cause one or more processors of a network entity to:

• receive a reported user-equipment (UE) location;
• obtain a first signal frequency difference indicating a first difference between a first received frequency of a first signal and a second received frequency of a second signal, the first signal received by the UE corresponding to a first transmit signal of a first transmit frequency transmitted from a first non-terrestrial-network node, and the second signal received by the UE corresponding to a second transmit signal of a second transmit frequency transmitted from a second non-terrestrial-network node that is separate from the first non-terrestrial-network node;
• and
• provide a UE location assessment indication based on the first signal frequency difference and based on a second signal frequency difference, that is a second difference between an expected frequency of the first signal at the reported UE location and an expected frequency of the second signal at the reported UE location.
