Abstract
A wireless device receives a signal from a purported non-terrestrial network (NTN) and initiates verification of the legitimacy of the purported NTN. The wireless device detects an actual angle of arrival of the signal from the purported NTN and determines an expected angle of arrival of the signal from a legitimate NTN known to the wireless device, based on the device's current location orientation, or speed. The purported NTN is legitimate if the actual angle of arrival of the signal is within a threshold deviation of the expected angle of arrival of the signal, and the purported NTN is fraudulent if the actual angle of arrival of the signal is not within the threshold deviation of the expected angle of arrival of the signal.
