A novel anti-spoofing method based on particle filter for GNSS

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has been widely used by militaries as well as civilians. Generally, the locating accuracy is high, but the system is lack of immunity against spoofing attack, which may deceive the receiver into error positioning. In order to deal with the problem, a maximum particle weight monitoring scheme based on particle filter (PF) is proposed for spoofing detection in this paper. The scheme exploits the relation between spoofing and particle weight, and it can detect spoofing by catching the abnormal maximum particle weight. After detection process, an improved robust estimation method is applied in the spoofing suppression, thereby eliminating the impairing. Both the theoretical analyses and the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the spoofing detection and suppression schemes.
