Abstract
A network device determines localization constraint(s) for an expected vertical range over which a UE may be positioned. The network device estimates vertical position of the UE. The network device compares the estimated vertical position with the localization constraint(s). The network device performs different actions depending on whether the estimated vertical position is within or outside the localization constraint(s). The network device may be the UE, a location server (e.g., LMF), or an LMC as implemented by the RAN node.
