Research on BeiDou anti-spoofing technology based on comprehensive radio determination satellite service

Abstract

Abstract The BeiDou system (BDS) plays a significant role in people’s lives, but its security is easily affected by spoofing attacks. The radio determination satellite service (RDSS) is a special service of BDS that provides two-way communication, positioning, and timing services independently of the traditional radio navigation satellite service (RNSS). It can additionally be combined with RNSS to provide a comprehensive RDSS (CRDSS) service. In RDSS, after receiving a signal from the master station, the user needs to send a response signal back to the master station through a satellite. Therefore, the RDSS signal is difficult to spoof. In this study, based on the security feature of RDSS signals, an anti-spoofing method based on CRDSS is proposed to detect and mitigate spoofing attacks, verifying the advantages of the BeiDou system over other satellite navigation systems.
