The faulty base station establishes a radio connection with the user equipment and releases the connection afterward due to the worst channel conditions. Because our reference values come from the worst channel conditions, the optimal thresholds hence ensure fake base station detection with zero false positives under varying network conditions.
Therefore, any base station broadcasting a foreign mobile country code is also a false base station. Similarly, deployment information of its legitimate base stations could be utilized by the network to detect inconsistencies in the measurement reports from devices. One example is to detect invalid identifiers broadcasted by false base stations.
The measurement reports from devices are very effective in detecting false base stations, as will be described later. Because the measurement reports already exist in all generations of mobile networks to manage device mobility, the detection framework fits seamlessly in all mobile network generations.
For instance, it is common for false base stations to lure devices by transmitting high power radio signals. Therefore, the network could correlate the received-signal strengths from multiple neighboring base stations reported by devices and potentially identify false base stations.
False base stations execute attacks in the Radio Access Network (RAN) of cellular systems, adversely affecting the network or its users. To address this challenge, we propose a behavior rule specification
