Identifying and classifying wireless signals of interest through deep learning is a first step, albeit with many practical pitfalls in porting laboratory-tested methods into the field. Towards this aim, this paper proposes using Android smartphones with TensorFlow Lite as an edge computing device that can run GPU-trained deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for modulation classification. Our approach intelligently identifies the SNR region of the signal with high reliability (over 99%) and chooses grouping of modulation labels that can be predicted with high (over 95%) detection probability. We demonstrate that while there are no significant differences between the GPU and smartphone in terms of classification accuracy, the latter takes much less time (down to $frac{1}{870}{mathrm {x}}$), memory space ($frac{1}{3}$ of the original size), and consumes minimal power, which makes our approach ideal for ubiquitous smartphone-based signal classification.","PeriodicalId":278172,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129895832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We survey traditional spectrum analysis methods and compressed-sensing (CS) spectrum sensors in terms of their operation principles and system performance metrics. We develop and simulate end-to-end system models of the wideband spectrum sensors to evaluate their detection probabilities and false alarm probabilities in both non-adversarial and adversarial environments. We show that sweeping spectrum scanners are inherently secure against DoS attacks due to their high dynamic range and small instantaneous bandwidth (BW) equal to their resolution bandwidth. Next, we evaluate Nyquist-rate FFT-based spectrum sensors and show that they are only vulnerable to high-power DoS attacks due to their wide instantaneous BW equal to their Span. These traditional spectrum sensors, however, have high energy consumption for wideband RF spectrum sensing either due to their long scan time or high power. Thus, CS spectrum sensors have recently been proposed as an alternative for RF spectrum sensing thanks to their low energy consumption and fast scan time. A major contribution of this paper is to show that CS spectrum sensors are vulnerable to stealthy DoS attacks (i.e., the attacks are hard to detect). For the same attacker power budget, we further show that the attacks become more potent if the adversary uses multiple attack signals with low power rather than a single attack signal with high power. Finally, we discuss possible countermeasures against the attacks.","PeriodicalId":278172,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130079601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Enabling such sharing requires strategies that control the interference between the two systems. A cooperative approach for spectrum sharing between a MIMO radar and a MIMO communication system has been recently proposed, in which, cooperation is supervised by a controller, who collects information from both system and designs a precoding scheme for the communication system so that it interferes minimally with the radar. However, the precoding matrix contains implicit information about the radar, and could be used by an adversary to violate the radar’s privacy. In this paper, we show how the radar angle with respect to the communication unit can be estimated based on the precoding matrix. We also propose a precoder design approach considering the trade off between the interference power and radar privacy. The proposed approach obfuscates the radar location at the cost of a slight increase in the interference power to the radar.","PeriodicalId":278172,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131076561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The crowdsourced data, however, can hardly be fused easily to enable usable applications for the reason that the data are collected by different users, in different locations, at different time, with different noises and distortions. Although different crowdsourcing services have proposed different data fusing methods, we find that they may not fully leverage the data collected from multiple dimensions that can potentially lead to a better fusion result. In order to harness this opportunity, we propose a more general solution, which can fuse the multi-dimension crowdsourced data together and align them with the consistent time and location stamps by using the features of the sensory data only, and thus can provide a high-quality crowdsourcing service from the raw data samplings collected from the environment.

As a feasibility study, delay profiles were measured in a mountainous environment in Japan by the ARIB STD-T103 system operating in the VHF-band. The profiles and the location information at the measurement points are learned by the deep neural network (DNN). By using the trained DNN, the location cluster of the high-priority terminal can be predicted without the GPS by only measuring the delay profile of the high-priority terminal.

Despite its large and wide frequency bandwidth, the obtained data rate can be diminished due to link blockage in this frequency band. In this paper, we formulate a bi-objective optimization problem to optimize user association in cellular networks with mm-Wave enabled base stations. The two objectives to minimize are maximum base station utility and blockage score (to indicate the chance of a link getting blocked). We simulate three different scalarization methods to turn a bi-objective vector into a scalar. Since the combinatorial bi-objective problem is NP-Hard, we conduct Lagrangian dual analysis on all of the scalarization methods. Solving the dual problem decreases the time complexity of the solver algorithm, but the solution has a distance from the optimal point created by solving the primal. We also solve the primal optimization problem with a single objective optimization tool. Compared to the time complexity of the primal problem of scalarization methods, the time complexities of solutions to the dual problems are lower. The results show that our solution to bi-objective optimization problem has a better outcome in terms of the number of link blockage and the maximum base station utility compared to optimizing each objective alone.1","PeriodicalId":278172,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131261924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many researchers use rules-of-thumb to find out how much training data is needed for certain classification or identification tasks. For the artificial neural network (ANN) research, these rules of thumb may suffice, however, for convolutional neural networks (CNN), a class of deep neural networks, these rules of thumb may not hold, and researchers are often left to Figure out the training dataset size needed for accurate classification. In this paper, we investigate the correlation between training dataset size and classification accuracy for transmitter classification applications by investigating whether the rules-of-thumb used in ANN research applies in CNN-based transmitter classification tasks. We predict classification performance of a CNN-based architecture given a dataset size using a power law model and the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. We use the chi-squared goodness-of-fit test to validate our predicted model. Our results show that we can predict classification accuracy for larger training dataset sizes with different experimental scenarios with at least 97.5% accuracy. We also compare our scheme with similar prior works in wireless transmitter classification. Finally, we propose a rule-of-thumb for the required training dataset size in transmitter classification using CNNs.","PeriodicalId":278172,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN)","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121554327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
