用决策树检测多用户毫米波中的恶意导频污染,效果优于传统方法。

Detecting Malicious Pilot Contamination in Multiuser Massive MIMO Using Decision Trees

  • 基于决策树构建检测模型,自动学习区分恶意与正常导频的特征。
  • 单层决策树在低干扰功率和噪声环境下检测率超过传统似然比检验。
  • 无需预知噪声或攻击者信号强度,适合实际部署场景。

大规模多输入多输出(MMIMO)是5G/6G无线通信的关键技术,但易受主动窃听攻击。其中导频污染攻击(PCA)通过复制合法用户的导频信号,在上行链路中干扰基站(BS)的信道估计。本文提出在多用户系统中使用决策树(DT)算法进行PCA检测。我们设计了训练数据生成方法,并根据深度筛选最优决策树。通过模拟多种实际场景,将该方法与基于似然比检验(LRT)的经典技术对比。结果表明,仅一层深度的决策树即可超越LRT性能。在高噪声或恶意用户低功率发射场景下,该方法仍保持高检测概率,而LRT会失效。原因在于决策树能更优地计算分离异常与正常数据的阈值。此外,决策树无需事先知晓噪声功率或恶意信号强度,而这些正是LRT等假设检验方法的必要前提。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MMIMO) is essential to modern wireless communication systems, like 5G and 6G, but it is vulnerable to active eavesdropping attacks. One type of such attack is the pilot contamination attack (PCA), where a malicious user copies pilot signals from an authentic user during uplink, intentionally interfering with the base station's (BS) channel estimation accuracy. In this work, we propose to use a Decision Tree (DT) algorithm for PCA detection at the BS in a multi-user system. We present a methodology to generate training data for the DT classifier and select the best DT according to their depth. Then, we simulate different scenarios that could be encountered in practice and compare the DT to a classical technique based on likelihood ratio testing (LRT) submitted to the same scenarios. The results revealed that a DT with only one level of depth is sufficient to outperform the LRT. The DT shows a good performance regarding the probability of detection in noisy scenarios and when the malicious user transmits with low power, in which case the LRT fails to detect the PCA. We also show that the reason for the good performance of the DT is its ability to compute a threshold that separates PCA data from non-PCA data better than the LRT's threshold. Moreover, the DT does not necessitate prior knowledge of noise power or assumptions regarding the signal power of malicious users, prerequisites typically essential for LRT and other hypothesis testing methodologies.
