Comprehensive overview of quickest detection theory and its application to GNSS threat detection

Abstract

Local threats such as radio frequency interference, multipath and spoofing have attracted the attention of many researchers in the past years thus leading to a myriad of contributions in the field of threat detection. Nevertheless, the current state of the art relies on classical detection techniques, which are not well suited for threat detection. In this paper, we take a leap forward by adopting the so-called quickest detection framework. This approach fits perfectly in critical applications where the aim is to detect the presence of local threats as soon as possible in order to improve the integrity of GNSS receivers.
