Abstract

A method of detecting messages from an unwanted source in an ad-hoc network is disclosed. According to the method, a first message is received that purports to be from a mobile communication device. The first purported message has a first location component incorporated therein. A second message is received that purports to be from the mobile communication device. The second message has a second location component incorporated therein. The first location component is compared with the second location component. It is determined that one of the first purported message and the second purported message is not from the mobile communication device when the first location component is inconsistent with the second location component.
