Monitoring interferences to satellite-based navigation systems is of paramount importance in order to reliably operate critical infrastructures, navigation systems, and a variety of applications relying on satellite-based positioning. This paper investigates the use of crowdsourced data to achieve such detection and monitoring at a central node that receives the data from an arbitrary number of agents in an area of interest. Under ideal conditions, the pathloss model is used to compute the Cramér-Rao Bound of accuracy as well as the corresponding maximum likelihood estimator. However, in real scenarios where obstructions and reflections are common, the signal propagation is far more complex than the pathloss model can explain. We propose to augment the pathloss model with a data-driven component, able to explain the complexities of the propagation channel. The paper shows a general methodology to jointly estimate the interference location and the parameters of the augmented model, showing superior performances in complex scenarios such as those encountered in urban environments.
