Machine learning (ML) provides effective means to learn from spectrum data and solve complex tasks involved in wireless communications. Supported by recent advances in computational resources and algorithmic designs, deep learning (DL) has found success in performing various wireless communication tasks such as signal recognition, spectrum sensing and waveform design. However, ML in general and DL in particular have been found vulnerable to manipulations thus giving rise to a field of study called adversarial machine learning (AML). Although AML has been extensively studied in other data domains such as computer vision and natural language processing, research for AML in the wireless communications domain is still in its early stage. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the latest research efforts focused on AML in wireless communications while accounting for the unique characteristics of wireless systems. First, the background of AML attacks on deep neural networks is discussed and a taxonomy of AML attack types is provided. Various methods of generating adversarial examples and attack mechanisms are also described. In addition, an holistic survey of existing research on AML attacks for various wireless communication problems as well as the corresponding defense mechanisms in the wireless domain are presented. Finally, as new attacks and defense techniques are developed, recent research trends and the overarching future outlook for AML for next-generation wireless communications are discussed.

We consider the problem of hiding wireless communications from an eavesdropper that employs a deep learning (DL) classifier to detect whether any transmission of interest is present or not. There exists one transmitter that transmits to its receiver in the presence of an eavesdropper, while a cooperative jammer (CJ) transmits carefully crafted adversarial perturbations over the air to fool the eavesdropper into classifying the received superposition of signals as noise. The CJ puts an upper bound on the strength of perturbation signal to limit its impact on the bit error rate (BER) at the receiver. We show that this adversarial perturbation causes the eavesdropper to misclassify the received signals as noise with high probability while increasing the BER only slightly. On the other hand, the CJ cannot fool the eavesdropper by simply transmitting Gaussian noise as in conventional jamming and instead needs to craft perturbation signals built by adversarial machine learning to enable covert communications. Our results show that signals with different modulation types and eventually 5G communications can be effectively hidden from an eavesdropper even if it is equipped with a DL classifier to detect transmissions.
We consider adversarial machine learning based attacks on power allocation where the base station (BS) allocates its transmit power to multiple orthogonal subcarriers by using a deep neural network (DNN) to serve multiple user equipments (UEs). The D NN that corresponds to a regression model is trained with channel gains as the input and allocated transmit powers as the output. While the BS allocates the transmit power to the UEs to maximize rates for all UEs, there is an adversary that aims to minimize these rates. The adversary may be an external transmitter that aims to manipulate the inputs to the DNN by interfering with the pilot signals that are transmitted to measure the channel gain. Alternatively, the adversary may be a rogue UE that transmits fabricated channel estimates to the BS. In both cases, the adversary carefully crafts adversarial perturbations to manipulate the inputs to the DNN of the BS subject to an upper bound on the strengths of these perturbations. We consider the attacks targeted on a single UE or all UEs. We compare these attacks with a benchmark, where the adversary scales down the input to the DNN. We show that adversarial attacks are much more effective than the benchmark attack in terms of reducing the rate of communications. We also show that adversarial attacks are robust to the uncertainty at the adversary including the erroneous knowledge of channel gains and the potential errors in exercising the attacks exactly as specified.
As data generation increasingly takes place on devices without a wired connection, Machine Learning over wireless networks becomes critical. Many studies have shown that traditional wireless protocols are highly inefficient or unsustainable to suppor t Distributed Machine Learning. This is creating the need for new wireless communication methods. In this survey, we give an exhaustive review of the state of the art wireless methods that are specifically designed to support Machine Learning services. Namely, over-the-air computation and radio resource allocation optimized for Machine Learning. In the over-the-air approach, multiple devices communicate simultaneously over the same time slot and frequency band to exploit the superposition property of wireless channels for gradient averaging over-the-air. In radio resource allocation optimized for Machine Learning, Active Learning metrics allow for data evaluation to greatly optimize the assignment of radio resources. This paper gives a comprehensive introduction to these methods, reviews the most important works, and highlights crucial open problems.
We present an introduction to model-based machine learning for communication systems. We begin by reviewing existing strategies for combining model-based algorithms and machine learning from a high level perspective, and compare them to the conventio nal deep learning approach which utilizes established deep neural network (DNN) architectures trained in an end-to-end manner. Then, we focus on symbol detection, which is one of the fundamental tasks of communication receivers. We show how the different strategies of conventional deep architectures, deep unfolding, and DNN-aided hybrid algorithms, can be applied to this problem. The last two approaches constitute a middle ground between purely model-based and solely DNN-based receivers. By focusing on this specific task, we highlight the advantages and drawbacks of each strategy, and present guidelines to facilitate the design of future model-based deep learning systems for communications.

RF-powered backscatter communication is a promising new technology that can be deployed for battery-free applications such as internet of things (IoT) and wireless sensor networks (WSN). However, since this kind of communication is based on the ambie nt RF signals and battery-free devices, they are vulnerable to interference and jamming. In this paper, we model the interaction between the user and a smart interferer in an ambient backscatter communication network as a game. We design the utility functions of both the user and interferer in which the backscattering time is taken into the account. The convexity of both sub-game optimization problems is proved and the closed-form expression for the equilibrium of the Stackelberg game is obtained. Due to lack of information about the system SNR and transmission strategy of the interferer, the optimal strategy is obtained using the Q-learning algorithm in a dynamic iterative manner. We further introduce hotbooting Q-learning as an effective approach to expedite the convergence of the traditional Q-learning. Simulation results show that our approach can obtain considerable performance improvement in comparison to random and fixed backscattering time transmission strategies and improves the convergence speed of Q-Learning by about 31%.
