Abstract
Robust radio frequency fingerprint identification (RFFI) is crucial for physical layer authentication, while it suffers from channel effects and requires extra overhead to increase recognition accuracy (RA). To address this, an efficient channel-robust RFFI scheme is proposed, employing a specialized multi-task learning (MTL) framework to direct the neural network (NN) toward extracting channel-robust features. In addition, receiver collaboration (RC) is utilized for data augmentation and output calibration. Experimental results demonstrate that the RA is significantly increased from 51.72% to 99.97% when using the open-resource Wi-Fi signal datasets collected from different time periods. Meanwhile, the requirements for extra data transmission, NN structure, and feature crafting in the inferring stage are dramatically simplified.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Signal Processing Letters is a monthly, archival publication designed to provide rapid dissemination of original, cutting-edge ideas and timely, significant contributions in signal, image, speech, language and audio processing. Papers published in the Letters can be presented within one year of their appearance in signal processing conferences such as ICASSP, GlobalSIP and ICIP, and also in several workshop organized by the Signal Processing Society.
