1. A method of assessing a reported user-equipment (UE) location, the method comprising:
receiving, at a network entity, the reported UE location;
obtaining, at the network entity, a first signal frequency difference indicating a first difference between a first received frequency of a first signal and a second received frequency of a second signal, the first signal received by the UE and corresponding to a first transmit signal of a first transmit frequency transmitted from a first non-terrestrial-network node, and the second signal received by the UE and corresponding to a second transmit signal of a second transmit frequency transmitted from a second non-terrestrial-network node that is separate from the first non-terrestrial-network node; and
providing, by the network entity, a UE location assessment indication based on the first signal frequency difference and a second signal frequency difference, wherein the second signal frequency difference is a second difference between an expected frequency of the first signal at the reported UE location and an expected frequency of the second signal at the reported UE location.
