Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for detecting cell site simulators are provided. An example method includes obtaining signal characteristics data including geolocation data, identifying a legitimate cell site in proximity to the geolocation of the user device based on the geolocation data, identifying a preestablished model stored in the user device, and the model is corresponding to the identified legitimate cell site and includes one or more predetermined expected features. The method further includes selecting the identified model, extracting one or more actual features from the signal characteristics data using the selected model, comparing the actual features with the predetermined expected features to determine a degree of matching of the actual features with the predetermined expected features, and in response to a determination that the degree of matching is below a predetermined threshold, indicating that the cell site is a suspicious cell site simulator.
