Unauthorized Radio Sensing and Privacy Risks: A Sampling Error-Based Defense
arXiv:2411.05320
Abstract
Unauthorized sensing activities pose an increasing threat to individual privacy, yet effective countermeasures remain underdeveloped. This paper presents a novel methodology to characterize and counter such unauthorized surveillance. We model pedestrian trajectories as a random process and leverage the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) to evaluate sensing performance, interpreting it as sampling error within this random process. Through simulation, we verify our method's accuracy in monitoring unauthorized sensing activities in urban environments and validate the effectiveness of our proposed mitigation strategies.
