Thanks to its capability of classifying complex phenomena without explicit modeling, deep learning (DL) has been demonstrated to be a key enabler of Wireless Signal Classification (WSC). Although DL can achieve a very high accuracy under certain conditions, recent research has unveiled that the wireless channel can disrupt the features learned by the DL model during training, thus drastically reducing the classification performance in real-world live settings. Since retraining classifiers is cumbersome after deployment, existing work has leveraged the usage of carefully-tailored Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters that, when applied at the transmitters side, can restore the features that are lost because of the the channel actions, i.e., waveform synthesis. However, these approaches compute FIRs using offline optimization strategies, which limits their efficacy in highly-dynamic channel settings. In this paper, we improve the state of the art by proposing Chares, a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL)-based framework for channel-resilient adaptive waveform synthesis. Chares adapts to new and unseen channel conditions by optimally computing through DRL the FIRs in real-time. Chares is a DRL agent whose architecture is-based upon the Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradients (TD3), which requires minimal feedback from the receiver and explores a continuous action space. Chares has been extensively evaluated on two well-known datasets. We have also evaluated the real-time latency of Chares with an implementation on field-programmable gate array (FPGA). Results show that Chares increases the accuracy up to 4.1x when no waveform synthesis is performed, by 1.9x with respect to existing work, and can compute new actions within 41us.

We designed and implemented a deep learning based RF signal classifier on the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) of an embedded software-defined radio platform, DeepRadio, that classifies the signals received through the RF front end to different modulation types in real time and with low power. This classifier implementation successfully captures complex characteristics of wireless signals to serve critical applications in wireless security and communications systems such as identifying spoofing signals in signal authentication systems, detecting target emitters and jammers in electronic warfare (EW) applications, discriminating primary and secondary users in cognitive radio networks, interference hunting, and adaptive modulation. Empowered by low-power and low-latency embedded computing, the deep neural network runs directly on the FPGA fabric of DeepRadio, while maintaining classifier accuracy close to the software performance. We evaluated the performance when another SDR (USRP) transmits signals with different modulation types at different power levels and DeepRadio receives the signals and classifies them in real time on its FPGA. A smartphone with a mobile app is connected to DeepRadio to initiate the experiment and visualize the classification results. With real radio transmissions over the air, we show that the classifier implemented on DeepRadio achieves high accuracy with low latency (microsecond per sample) and low energy consumption (microJoule per sample), and this performance is not matched by other embedded platforms such as embedded graphics processing unit (GPU).
Machine learning (ML) methods are ubiquitous in wireless communication systems and have proven powerful for applications including radio-frequency (RF) fingerprinting, automatic modulation classification, and cognitive radio. However, the large size of ML models can make them difficult to implement on edge devices for latency-sensitive downstream tasks. In wireless communication systems, ML data processing at a sub-millisecond scale will enable real-time network monitoring to improve security and prevent infiltration. In addition, compact and integratable hardware platforms which can implement ML models at the chip scale will find much broader application to wireless communication networks. Toward real-time wireless signal classification at the edge, we propose a novel compact deep network that consists of a photonic-hardware-inspired recurrent neural network model in combination with a simplified convolutional classifier, and we demonstrate its application to the identification of RF emitters by their random transmissions. With the proposed model, we achieve 96.32% classification accuracy over a set of 30 identical ZigBee devices when using 50 times fewer training parameters than an existing state-of-the-art CNN classifier. Thanks to the large reduction in network size, we demonstrate real-time RF fingerprinting with 0.219 ms latency using a small-scale FPGA board, the PYNQ-Z1.
Voice traffic prediction is significant for network deployment optimization thus to improve the network efficiency. The real entropy based theorectical bound and corresponding prediction models have demonstrated their success in mobility prediction. In this paper, the real entropy based predictability analysis and prediction models are introduced into voice traffic prediction. For this adoption, the traffic quantification methods is proposed and discussed. Based on the real world voice traffic data, the prediction accuracy of N-order Markov models, diffusion based model and MF model are presented, among which, 25-order Markov models performs best and approach close to the maximum predictability. This work demonstrates that, the real entropy can also predict voice traffic well which broaden the understanding on the real entropy based prediction theory.
Synthesizing user-intended programs from a small number of input-output examples is a challenging problem with several important applications like spreadsheet manipulation, data wrangling and code refactoring. Existing synthesis systems either completely rely on deductive logic techniques that are extensively hand-engineered or on purely statistical models that need massive amounts of data, and in general fail to provide real-time synthesis on challenging benchmarks. In this work, we propose Neural Guided Deductive Search (NGDS), a hybrid synthesis technique that combines the best of both symbolic logic techniques and statistical models. Thus, it produces programs that satisfy the provided specifications by construction and generalize well on unseen examples, similar to data-driven systems. Our technique effectively utilizes the deductive search framework to reduce the learning problem of the neural component to a simple supervised learning setup. Further, this allows us to both train on sparingly available real-world data and still leverage powerful recurrent neural network encoders. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by evaluating on real-world customer scenarios by synthesizing accurate programs with up to 12x speed-up compared to state-of-the-art systems.
This paper looks into the technology classification problem for a distributed wireless spectrum sensing network. First, a new data-driven model for Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) based on long short term memory (LSTM) is proposed. The model learns from the time domain amplitude and phase information of the modulation schemes present in the training data without requiring expert features like higher order cyclic moments. Analyses show that the proposed model yields an average classification accuracy of close to 90% at varying SNR conditions ranging from 0dB to 20dB. Further, we explore the utility of this LSTM model for a variable symbol rate scenario. We show that a LSTM based model can learn good representations of variable length time domain sequences, which is useful in classifying modulation signals with different symbol rates. The achieved accuracy of 75% on an input sample length of 64 for which it was not trained, substantiates the representation power of the model. To reduce the data communication overhead from distributed sensors, the feasibility of classification using averaged magnitude spectrum data, or online classification on the low cost sensors is studied. Furthermore, quantized realizations of the proposed models are analyzed for deployment on sensors with low processing power.
