Abstract
Man-in-the-middle attacks on reference signals used for positioning a mobile device in a wireless network can be detected through time and/or angle consistency checks. Time consistency checks may be based on a consistency of peak location and/or power delay profile across multiple reference signals and/or across different signal types, for example. Angle consistency checks may be based on a consistency of an angle at which a reference signal is received across multiple reference signals and/or in comparison with an expected angle, for example. Embodiments may further include reporting detected attacks.
