An Accurate GNSS Spoofing Detection Method Based on Multiscale Eye Diagrams.

Abstract

Spoofing detection is critical for GNSS security. To address the issues of low detection rates and insufficient coverage in traditional methods, this study proposes an eye diagram detection method based on the multiscale Canny algorithm with minimum misjudgment probability (EDDM-MSC-MMP). Unlike conventional correlation peak distortion detection techniques, the proposed method uses the MSC-MMP algorithm to perform multiscale edge extraction from the eye diagram generated from the receiver's correlation values. It then calculates the image threshold using minimum misjudgment probability to ensure the accuracy of the eye diagram's edges. This enables the accurate detection of subtle changes in the eye diagram, leading to the better identification of spoofing signals. The results show that the MSC-MMP outperforms traditional edge extraction algorithms by over 0.072 in terms of the optimal dataset scale F score (ODS-F). Compared to signal quality monitoring (SQM) and Carrier-to-Noise Ratio methods, the EDDM-MSC-MMP method increases spoofing detection coverage by over 60%, achieving the highest detection rate in the TEXBAT dataset. Overall, the EDDM-MSC-MMP method improves the reliability and coverage of spoofing detection, providing an effective solution for GNSS spoofing detection.
