Wireless signals contain transmitter specific features, which can be used to verify the identity of transmitters and assist in implementing an authentication and authorization system. Most recently, there has been wide interest in using deep learning for transmitter identification. However, the existing deep learning work has posed the problem as closed set classification, where a neural network classifies among a finite set of known transmitters. No matter how large this set is, it will not include all transmitters that exist. Malicious transmitters outside this closed set, once within communications range, can jeopardize the system security. In this paper, we propose a deep learning approach for transmitter authorization based on open set recognition. Our proposed approach identifies a set of authorized transmitters, while rejecting any other unseen transmitters by recognizing their signals as outliers. We propose three approaches for this problem and show their ability to reject signals from unauthorized transmitters on a dataset of WiFi captures. We consider the structure of training data needed, and we show that the accuracy improves by having signals from known unauthorized transmitters in the training set.

Due to imperfections in transmitters hardware, wireless signals can be used to verify their identity in an authorization system. While deep learning was proposed for transmitter identification, the majority of the work has focused on classification among a closed set of transmitters. Malicious transmitters outside this closed set will be misclassified, jeopardizing the authorization system. In this paper, we consider the problem of recognizing authorized transmitters and rejecting new transmitters. To address this problem, we adapt the most prominent approaches from the open set recognition and anomaly detection literature to the problem. We study how these approaches scale with the required number of authorized transmitters. We propose using a known set of unauthorized transmitters to assist the training and study its impact. The evaluation procedure takes into consideration that some transmitters might be more similar than others and nuances these effects. The robustness of the RF authorization with respect to temporal changes in fingerprints is also considered in the evaluation. When using 10 authorized and 50 known unauthorized WiFi transmitters from a publicly accessible testbed, we were able to achieve an outlier detection accuracy of 98% on the same day test set and 80% on the different day test set.
In congested electromagnetic environments, cognitive radios require knowledge about other emitters in order to optimize their dynamic spectrum access strategy. Deep learning classification algorithms have been used to recognize the wireless signal standards of emitters with high accuracy, but are limited to classifying signal classes that appear in their training set. This diminishes the performance of deep learning classifiers deployed in the field because they cannot accurately identify signals from classes outside of the training set. In this paper, a convolution neural network based open set classifier is proposed with the ability to detect if signals are not from known classes by thresholding the output sigmoid activation. The open set classifier was trained on 4G LTE, 5G NR, IEEE 802.11ax, Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0, and Narrowband Internet-of-Things signals impaired with Rayleigh or Rician fading, AWGN, frequency offsets, and in-phase/quadrature imbalances. Then, the classifier was tested on OFDM, SC-FDMA, SC, AM, and FM signals, which did not appear in the training set classes. The closed set classifier achieves an average accuracy of 94.5% for known signals with SNRs greater than 0 dB, but by design, has a 0% accuracy detecting signals from unknown classes. On the other hand, the open set classifier retains an 86% accuracy for known signal classes, but can detect 95.5% of signals from unknown classes with SNRs greater than 0 dB.
In this letter, a wireless transmitter using the new architecture of programmable metasurface is presented. The proposed transmitter does not require any filter, nor wideband mixer or wideband power amplifier, thereby making it a promising hardware architecture for cost-effective wireless communications systems in the future. Using experimental results, we demonstrate that a programmable metasurface-based 8-phase shift-keying (8PSK) transmitter with 8*32 phase adjustable unit cells can achieve 6.144 Mbps data rate over the air at 4.25 GHz with a comparable bit error rate (BER) performance as the conventional approach without channel coding, but with less hardware complexity.
Free positioning of receivers is one of the key requirements for many wireless power transfer (WPT) applications, required from the end-user point of view. However, realization of stable and effective wireless power transfer for freely positioned receivers is technically challenging task because of the requirement of complex control and tuning. In this paper, we propose a concept of automatic receiver tracking and power channeling for multi-transmitter WPT systems using uncoupled transmitter and uncoupled repeaters. Each transmitter-repeater pair forms an independent power transfer channel providing an effective link for the power flow from the transmitter to the receiver. The proposed WPT system is capable of maintaining stable output power with constant high efficiency regardless of the receiver position and without having any active control or tuning. The proposed concept is numerically and experimentally verified by using a four-transmitter WPT system in form of a linear array. The experimental results show that the efficiency of the proposed WPT system can reach 94.5% with a variation less than 2% against the receiver position.
This paper aims to handle the joint transmitter and noncoherent receiver design for multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) systems through deep learning. Given the deep neural network (DNN) based noncoherent receiver, the novelty of this work mainly lies in the multiuser waveform design at the transmitter side. According to the signal format, the proposed deep learning solutions can be divided into two groups. One group is called pilot-aided waveform, where the information-bearing symbols are time-multiplexed with the pilot symbols. The other is called learning-based waveform, where the multiuser waveform is partially or even completely designed by deep learning algorithms. Specifically, if the information-bearing symbols are directly embedded in the waveform, it is called systematic waveform. Otherwise, it is called non-systematic waveform, where no artificial design is involved. Simulation results show that the pilot-aided waveform design outperforms the conventional zero forcing receiver with least squares (LS) channel estimation on small-size MU-MIMO systems. By exploiting the time-domain degrees of freedom (DoF), the learning-based waveform design further improves the detection performance by at least 5 dB at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) range. Moreover, it is found that the traditional weight initialization method might cause a training imbalance among different users in the learning-based waveform design. To tackle this issue, a novel weight initialization method is proposed which provides a balanced convergence performance with no complexity penalty.
