Abstract: In an aspect, a client device in a first network cell may obtain information that indicates a second network cell neighboring the first network cell, wherein the tracking area code (also referred to as location area code) of the second network cell is different from the tracking area code of the first network cell and is not included in the tracking area identifier list of the of the first network cell. The client device may use the obtained information to detect a nearby false network access node that may be imitating the second network access node to lure the client device to connect to the false network access node. In some aspects, a client device in a first geographical location may preemptively obtain a network access node list associated with a second geographical location in order to detect false network access nodes in the second geographical location.
