Zusammenfassung:	A method of verifying a device location includes receiving a provisional location for a first device, setting a baseline location confidence value for the provisional location, determining a first network environment of the first device, and receiving one or more location reports each including a location for another device in the first network environment. For each received location report, the location in the location report is compared with the provisional location of the first device and a distance is calculated; and an adjustment to the location confidence value of the first device is calculated based on the calculated distance. An output location confidence value is generated for the provisional location of the first device based on the baseline location confidence value and the adjustment calculated for each received location report.
