  • 基于信息论构建统一框架,系统化分析异常检测方法。
  • 无需辅助异常数据,性能媲美有真实异常数据的基线。
  • 适合部署在难以收集异常信号的真实射频环境。

射频指纹系统需在开放世界环境中运行,测试时会面临未知发射源和时间漂移带来的分布偏移问题。分布外(OOD)检测为此类问题提供了自然解决方案,但在射频指纹(RFF)领域的应用仍有限。主要障碍在于多数OOD检测器需要额外的异常数据进行参数调优,而射频环境中代表性异常数据难以获取。本文引入机器学习文献中的若干有前景的OOD检测方法,应用于开集射频指纹场景,并基于信息论构建统一数学框架,该框架天然适用于通信系统。该框架支持方法的系统性分析与新方法开发。进一步验证了近期无需给定异常数据即可调优的检测方法在开集射频指纹中的适用性。在POWDER射频指纹数据集上的实验表明,即使无任何真实异常数据,所提方法性能仍可媲美具备真实异常数据的基线,显著优于无异常数据的基线方法,展示了其在射频指纹任务中的实际可行性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Radio-frequency (RF) fingerprinting systems must operate in open-world environments where signals from unknown transmitters and temporal drift introduce distribution shift at test time. Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection provides a natural framework for this problem, yet its application to RF fingerprinting (RFF) remains limited. A key barrier to their adoption is that most OOD detectors require auxiliary OOD data for parameter tuning, an assumption that is difficult to satisfy in RF environments where representative OOD data is impractical to collect. In this work, we introduce a promising set of OOD detection methods from the machine learning literature to open-set RFF domain. We present these methods within a unified mathematical framework based on information theory, which is a natural framework for communication systems. Our framework allows for the systematic analysis of methods and development of new methods. We further demonstrate the applicability of recent work on tuning OOD detectors without given OOD tuning data for open-set RFF. We evaluate on the POWDER RF fingerprinting dataset, showing that detectors tuned without any given OOD data achieve performance comparable to baselines with access to true OOD tuning data and greatly out-perform baseline approaches without access to true OOD tuning data, showcasing the practical viability for the RFF problem.
