Abstract
A user equipment (UE) detects signals transmitted by one or more attacking devices that interfere with downlink signals from base stations. The UE measures the angle of arrival (AoA) and power information of the interfering signals and sends an interference report to a serving base station. The base station may receive interference reports for the interfering signals from multiple UEs. One or more base stations may determine the identity of the attacking device based on the position of the attacking device determined using the information from the interference report and known positions of devices connected to the network. The one or more base stations may bar access to the network by the attacking device once the attacking device is identified and/or may report the attacking device.
