Abstract
Mechanism on location verification is proposed. One or more devices at known location(s) are deployed for verifying location information of a UE. The one or more devices perform a positioning measurement and report the positioning measurement. A core network device verifies the location information based on the reported positioning measurement and positioning measurement from the UE. In this way, it ensures that the location provided by the UE is trusted.
Claims22
A first device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions of a location management function, the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, causing the first device at least to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- transmitting first information to at least one positioning reference unit, the first information comprising an identity of a non-terrestrial network device to which a terminal device connects;
- transmitting second information to the at least one positioning reference unit, the second information indicating a first positioning measurement to be configured for the at least one positioning reference unit, the information indicating the first positioning measurement being determined based on information indicating a second positioning measurement performed by the terminal device for the non-terrestrial network device;
- receiving, from the at least one positioning reference unit, first measurement data which is determined based on the first positioning measurement;
- and
- determining a verification of location information of the terminal device based on the first measurement data and second measurement data which is based on the second positioning measurement.

A method of a first device comprising a location management function, the method comprising:
- transmitting first information to at least one positioning reference unit, the first information comprising an identity of a non-terrestrial network device to which a terminal device connects;
- transmitting second information to the at least one positioning reference unit, the second information indicating a first positioning measurement to be configured for the at least one positioning reference unit, the information indicating the first positioning measurement being determined based on information indicating a second positioning measurement performed by the terminal device for the non-terrestrial network device;
- receiving, from the at least one positioning reference unit, first measurement data which is determined based on the first positioning measurement;
- and
- determining a verification of location information of the terminal device based on the first measurement data and second measurement data which is based on the second positioning measurement.
