Abstract: Techniques, described herein, include solutions for anonymous geospatial evaluation via a wireless network. For example, a user equipment (UEs) may monitor a current location of UE for entry into a bounding box associated with a geographic area. Upon entry, the UE may generate and report an anonymous presence indicator to a bounding box server via the wireless network. The anonymous presence indicator may include information describing an instance of a UE being located within the bounding box; however, the anonymous presence indicator may not include information indicating an identifier of UE and/or a user of UE. The UE may report another anonymous presence indicator upon expiration of a re-report timer and/or upon entry into another bounding box.
