Claim 9:
10. A user equipment, UE, comprising processing circuitry, the processing circuitry configured to:
communicate a data location request for data to be stored on at least one remote storage device within a requested geographic location;
as a result of the data location request for the data to be stored on the at least one remote storage device within the requested geographic location, receive location information associated with at least one network node of a wireless communication network serving at least one cell area corresponding to the requested geographic location, the location information being used to verify that a location of the at least one remote storage device on which the data is stored is within the requested geographic location, the received location information including an indication of at least one code, the at least one code being the location information used to verify the location of the data, the location being verified when the at least one code from the user-requested location verification request matches the at least one code stored in a database associated with the network node, each of the at least one code being configured to be unique to the at least one cell area as compared to other cell areas of the wireless communication network, the at least one code being a sequence of codes, each of the sequence of codes being configured to be unique to the one cell area as compared to other cell areas of the wireless communication network, each of the codes in the sequence of codes being configured to be unique to a time period, as compared to other time periods associated with a predetermined periodic interval at which each of the codes in the sequence of codes is communicated; and
communicate with the at least one network node of the wireless communication network serving the at least one cell area corresponding to the requested geographic location to verify that the at least one remote storage device being served by the at least one network node possesses the data whose location is being verified, the verification being performed by comparing the indicated at least one code to at least one code stored in the database associated with the network node; and
broadcast each of the at least one code by the at least one network node as a short message service-cell broadcast, SMS-CB, message within the at least one cell area at a predetermined periodic interval.
