Techniques are provided for utilizing wireless devices to detect and classify barriers between devices. An example method performed by a user equipment for authorizing a device-to-device request includes receiving a request from a wireless node, determining a first range measurement to the wireless node using a first positioning technique, determining a second range measurement to the wireless node using a second positioning technique that is different from the first positioning technique, and allowing or denying the request based on the first range measurement and the second range measurement.
