Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A server may request sensed location information from a first device to verify location information reported by the first device or one or more additional devices. For example, a first user equipment (UE) may receive a message requesting sensed location information for verification of the location information associated with and reported by the first UE. Based on a sensing procedure performed by the first UE, the first UE may transmit a report indicating the sensed location information and a sensing time. In another example, a first device may receive a message requesting sensed location information for verification of the location information associated with and reported by one or more additional devices. Based on a sensing procedure performed by the first UE, the first UE may transmit a report indicating the sensed location information and the sensing time.
