Abstract
Aspects presented herein may enable a location of a UE accessing a network via non-3GPP access to be determined or estimated. In one aspect, a UE establishes a connection with at least one network entity and a non-network connection entity. The UE transmits, to the at least one network entity, an ID of the non-network connection entity when connected to the at least one network entity. The UE receives, from the at least one network entity, a request for a location of the non-network connection entity. The UE transmits, to the at least one network entity, an indication of location information for the non-network connection entity.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a memory;
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor, communicatively connected to the memory and the transceiver, the processor configured to:
- establish a connection with at least one network entity and a non-network connection entity;
- transmit, to the at least one network entity, an identifier (ID) of the non-network connection entity when connected to the at least one network entity;
- receive, from the at least one network entity, a request for a location of the non-network connection entity;
- and
- transmit, to the at least one network entity, an indication of location information for the non-network connection entity.
A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- establishing a connection with at least one network entity and a non-network connection entity;
- transmitting, to the at least one network entity, an identifier (ID) of the non-network connection entity when connected to the at least one network entity;
- receiving, from the at least one network entity, a request for a location of the non-network connection entity;
- and
- transmitting, to the at least one network entity, an indication of location information for the non-network connection entity.
