SGER：确保未来无线电系统中的频谱使用项目概述未来的无线设备将是高度可编程的，并将协议栈暴露给公众。攻击者可以很容易地购买低成本的无线设备，毫不费力地发动各种攻击。这些攻击将损害动态频谱访问的优势，以实现更大的利益。因此，迫切需要规范和监测未来的无线电业务，以确保频谱得到正确使用。这项工作将探索利用特定领域信息保护未来无线电系统的新范例。特别是，这项工作将利用位置信息来帮助检测执行频谱礼仪时的异常行为，因为位置具有描述无线设备当前物理状态的独特特征，难以伪造，并且不依赖于加密。智力优势：这项工作的关键贡献是设计有效的机制和开发有效的框架，既可以检测频谱使用中的异常活动，又可以在不需要无线设备开销的情况下定位对手。这项工作代表了对未来无线电系统的重大贡献，因为它与传统的基于密码的安全解决方案不同，并利用无线通信独有的特性来保护频谱使用。更广泛的影响：这项工作可以为探索与无线通信相关的各种属性提供基础，这些属性可以增强传统的安全机制。这项工作将涉及新兴无线系统新课程的开发。该项目将继续鼓励本科生和研究生参与研究，特别是鼓励女学生参与。

SGER: Securing Spectrum Usage in Future Radio SystemsProject SummaryThe future wireless devices will be highly-programmable with the exposure of the protocol stacks to the public. Adversaries can easily purchase low-cost wireless devices to launch a variety of attacks with little effort. These attacks will compromise the advantage of dynamic spectrum access for the greater good. Therefore, there is an urgent need to regulate and monitor future radio operations to ensure the spectrum is properly used. This work will explore new paradigms of securing future radio systems that take advantage of domain-specific information. Particularly, this work will utilize location information to assist in detecting anomalous behaviors when enforcing spectrum etiquettes because location has unique characteristics of describing the current physical status of a wireless device, hard to falsify, and not reliant on cryptography.Intellectual Merit: The key contribution of this work is to design efficient mechanisms and develop effective frameworks that can both detect anomalous activities in spectrum usage as well as localize adversaries without requiring overhead on wireless devices. This work represents a significant contribution to future radio systems because it departs from traditional cryptographic-based security solutions, and utilizes properties that are unique to wireless communications to secure spectrum usage.Broader Impact: This work can provide a foundation in exploring various properties related to wireless communications that can augment traditional security mechanisms. This work will involve the development of the new curriculum in emerging wireless systems. The project will continuously encourage the involvement of both undergraduate and graduate students in research, and especially encourage female students to participate.
