Few-Shot Specific Emitter Identification via Deep Metric Ensemble Learning

Abstract

Specific emitter identification (SEI) is a highly potential technology for physical layer authentication that is one of the most critical supplement for the upper-layer authentication. SEI is based on radio frequency (RF) features from circuit difference, rather than cryptography. These features are inherent characteristic of hardware circuits, which difficult to counterfeit. Recently, various deep learning (DL)based conventional SEI methods have been proposed, and achieved advanced performances. However, these methods are proposed for close-set scenarios with massive RF signal samples for training, and they generally have poor performance under the condition of limited training samples. Thus, we focus on few-shot SEI (FS-SEI) for aircraft identification via automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) signals, and a novel FS-SEI method is proposed, based on deep metric ensemble learning (DMEL). Specifically, the proposed method consists of feature embedding and classification. The former is based on metric learning with complex-valued convolutional neural network (CVCNN) for extracting discriminative features with compact intra-category distance and separable inter-category distance, while Y.

Automatic Modulation Classification Using Deep Residual Neural Network with Masked Modeling for Wireless Communications

“…In recent years, machine learning has achieved good results in various classification tasks with its outstanding deep feature extraction ability [17][18][19][20][21]. Later, due to the gradual improvement of computer hardware performance and the gradual maturity of intelligent algorithms, the modulation classification methods based on deep learning (DL) have been proposed [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

RF Signal Feature Extraction in Integrated Sensing and Communication

“…x , 2D attribute), skewness (γ x , 3D characteristic), and kurtosis (κ x , 4D feature), which are outlined in Equations ( 26)- (29).…”

“…The preprocessed data are read and parsed, including signal detection, data segmentation, data normalization, and frequency correction. The wavelet transform and the Fourier transform are calculated using Equations ( 10)- (25) to get two types of basic features, whose statistical classification features are calculated using Equations ( 26)- (29). The resulting fingerprint features (feature vector) for each burst consist of 24D features (2 types of data × 2 types of features × 4 statistical features).…”

“…Other features, such as constellation trajectory mapping features [22,23], fractal dimensional features [24,25], and multidimensional integrated features, have also been studied more [26][27][28]. For databased intelligent processing methods, deep models are used for automatic feature extraction and individual classification and recognition [29][30][31][32][33][34]. However, the models used are becoming increasingly complex and require very large data samples to train, which are not suitable for application to micromodels or microsystems.…”

A Real-Time Vehicle Speed Prediction Method Based on a Lightweight Informer Driven by Big Temporal Data

“…Nowadays, as a key component of smart cities, smart transportation systems have attracted widespread attention from researchers around the world. Intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) [1][2][3] can optimize the organization and management of urban road network traffic, improve the efficiency of urban road network traffic, and are also the most effective measures to alleviate urban road traffic congestion without changing existing road facilities. Moreover, the development of intelligent transportation systems not only facilitates people's travel, but also effectively solves environmental pollution and reduces the occurrence of accidents [4,5].…”
