Spoofing determination based on reference signal received power measurements

The method of claim 21, wherein the at least one action comprises:

• determining a positioning estimate of a target user equipment (UE), or
• crowdsourcing measurement information, spoofing attack determinations, or both from one or more wireless nodes, or
• transmitting one or more positioning scheme recommendations based on a spoofing attack type associated with the spoofing attack determination, or
• a combination thereof

A wireless node, comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
• perform, via the at least one processor, a first reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement of a reference signal for positioning (RS-P) based on a first set of samples within a first time window of an RS-P symbol or resource;
• determine, via the at least one processor, whether a spoofing attack is associated with RS-P based on the first RSRP measurement and one or more other RSRP measurements of one or more other sets of samples within one or more earlier time windows of the RS-P symbol or resource;
• and
• transmit, via the at least one processor, the at least one transceiver, or both, to a communications device, an indication of the spoofing attack determination.

A communications device, comprising:

• a memory;
• at least one transceiver;
• and
• at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory and the at least one transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:
• receive, via the at least one processor, the at least one transceiver, or both, from a wireless node, a measurement report that comprises an indication of a spoofing attack determination associated with a reference signal for positioning (RS-P) that is based at least in part upon a first reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement of the RS-P on a first set of samples within a first time window of an RS-P symbol or resource and one or more other RSRP measurements of one or more other sets of samples within one or more earlier time windows of the RS-P symbol or resource;
• and
• perform, via the at least one processor, the at least one transceiver, or both, at least one action based at least in part upon the indication of the spoofing attack determination.
