Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problems that: among the radiation source individual identification problems, it is most critical to extract the unintentional modulation information contained in the signal. The unintentional modulation information tends to be lower energy than the intentional modulation, and is "submerged" in the intentional modulation information. If the modulation modes of signals transmitted by different radiation source devices are the same, the modulation parameters are the same, even the information is the same, the intentional modulation is the same under the condition, the extracted characteristics are highly similar due to the influence of the intentional modulation, the differences among individuals are only reflected at the fine positions, and the difficulty of fingerprint identification is greatly improved. In order to better exert the main effect of unintentional modulation in SEI and fully utilize the advantages of spectral features in fingerprint feature characterization, the invention provides a network card spectral feature amplification method based on feature correlation and self-adaptive decomposition.
The existing radiation source fingerprint identification method mainly comprises two steps, wherein the first step is to extract features based on a large amount of data of known tags; the second step is based on the existing characteristics as a database, the received signal without the tag is extracted and characterized for analysis, and the extracted characteristics are compared with the existing characteristic data in the database to finish the identification of the target of the unknown tag.
Compared with the processing flow of the existing method, the invention needs to add a step to analyze the characteristic components and remove the part which is not beneficial to the fingerprint identification of the radiation source, therefore, the invention is mainly divided into three steps, namely:
(1) Data processing and spectral feature extraction: the first step is consistent with the prior method, and the difference is that the pretreatment precision and efficiency are improved, and a new frequency spectrum characteristic is extracted.
(2) Spectral reference feature extraction and feature component analysis: this is a newly added step of the present invention. In order to achieve feature amplification, fingerprint features need to be analyzed based on the data of known tags. The spectral reference characteristics and the amount of intentional modulation independent of the SEI are obtained in this step. This step needs to be performed only once.
(3) Extracting label-free data amplification characteristics: extracting features from the newly received data without tags and achieving target identification corresponds to the second step of the existing method, namely completing the identification of the radiation source for the newly received data.
The invention adopts the technical scheme that the network card spectrum fingerprint feature amplifying method based on feature correlation and self-adaptive decomposition comprises the following steps:
s1: data processing and spectrum feature extraction;
this step is mainly for processing and extracting spectral features to be amplified from the signal received at the receiver. The final output of this step is the spectral feature to be amplified, denoted by the symbol f (k). The method comprises the following steps:
s1.1 data reception and preprocessing
After the receiver receives the signal, the original signal is subjected to pretreatment such as detection, filtering, noise reduction and the like to obtain a signal sample x to be processed 0 (t);
According to the IEEE802.11 series standard, a specific frame head structure (Preamble) exists in a wireless network signal, and the invention mainly extracts the fingerprint characteristics of a radiation source based on the frame head part of the signal.
Signal sample x to be processed 0 (t) performing an analysis and obtaining a frame header portion x of the signal sample to be processed by detection 1 (t) (pretreatment of signal frame header is described in L.Sun, X.Wang, A.Yang and Z.Huang, "Radio Frequency Fingerprint Extraction Based on Multi-Dimension Approximate Entropy," in IEEE Signal Processing Letters, vol.27, pp.471-475,2020.).
S1.2, signal frequency offset estimation and elimination
The frequency band positions of the signals actually transmitted are different, the actual receiving also can cause certain frequency deviation, and the existence of the frequency deviation value can cause certain deviation in the range determination of the frequency spectrum characteristics extracted subsequently, so that the frame head part x of the signal sample to be processed needs to be estimated accurately 1 Frequency offset f of (t) 0 . Due to the frame header part x of the signal samples to be processed 1 (t) is the signal sample x to be processed 0 (t) a truncated portion, thus x 0 (t) and x 1 The frequency offset of (t) is the same, based on x longer in length in the frequency offset estimation 0 (t) performing frequency offset estimation to improve estimation accuracy; the method comprises the following steps:
s1.2.1 pair x based on Fourier interpolation algorithm 0 Frequency offset value f of (t) 0 Estimation is performed (specific estimation methods see Aboutanios E, mulgiew B.Iteractive frequency estimation by interpolation on Fourier coeffients.IEEE Transactions on signal processing 2005;53 (4): 1237-42.);
s1.2.2 according to f 0 Will x 1 (t) moving to zero frequency to obtain a baseband signal, and eliminating the influence of frequency offset;
s1.2.3 removing the mean value of the baseband signal, and normalizing the energy to obtain a signal x to be extracted 2 (t);
S1.3, calculating the frequency spectrum characteristics
Fingerprint information is not uniformly distributed over the spectral features, and the distribution differences are more pronounced near the center frequency (limiting Sun, xiang Wang, zhitao Huang, and Baoguo Li, radio Frequency Fingerprint Extraction based on Feature Inhomogeneity. IEEE Internet of Things Journal,2022.DOI: 10.1109/JIOT.2022.3154595).
Therefore, the invention only reserves the frequency spectrum with a certain width near the main lobe by extracting the local frequency spectrum with the most abundant fingerprint information in the frequency spectrum as the fingerprint characteristic of the radiation source, and does not depend on the whole frequency spectrum information. The calculation method is simple and convenient, and compared with the method using all frequency spectrum information, the signal characteristic dimension is greatly reduced.

Detailed Description
The following describes the embodiments of the present invention further with reference to the drawings.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of the implementation of the present invention, and the present invention provides a network card spectrum fingerprint feature amplifying method based on feature correlation and adaptive decomposition, which includes the following three major steps:
s1: data processing and spectrum feature extraction;
s2: extracting spectrum reference characteristics and analyzing characteristic components;
s3: extracting the label-free data amplification characteristics;
the method comprises the following steps:
firstly, processing the received data by S1.1-S1.3 to obtain the frequency spectrum characteristics to be amplified;
then, judging whether the spectrum reference feature calculation is needed, if so (namely, if no reference feature result exists), performing S2.1-S2.4 to obtain the reference featureAnd an intentional modulation amount h (j). Because the calculations of S2.1-S2.4 are based on the multiple sample cumulative weighting data of the multiple radiation sources and are thus common components common to all radiation sources.
Finally, the steps S1.1-S1.3 are repeated for the new signal received later, and S3.1 and S3.2 are performed to obtain the amplified final spectral characteristics.
Therefore, in the practical application process, S2.1-S2.4 only need to be carried out once, and corresponding reference characteristics are obtainedAnd the steps S2.1-S2.4 are not needed to be repeated after the intentional modulation quantity h (j), so that the calculation efficiency is improved.
FIG. 2 is a calculated (S1.1-S1.3) signal spectrumReference featuresThe horizontal axis represents the feature dimension and the vertical axis represents the corresponding feature value. The features here come from the right region of the main peak of the spectrum, with dimensions 4000. In the feature calculation process, lambda in S1.3.2 1 W B Lambda of (2) 1 λ in=2, s1.3.3 2 =10, the following chart calculates the parameters consistently. The result is a common part calculated based on 300 signal samples of a 3-part wireless network card, wherein each radiation source contains 100 signal samples, i.e. m=3, n m =100,m=1,2,3。
Fig. 3 shows the original spectral characteristics obtained by calculating the plurality of radiation source signals, namely f (k) obtained by steps S1.1-S1.3, wherein different colors represent different network card individuals, and the emitted signals of different individuals are the same. The left panels represent the original spectral signature of the two radiation sources, the dark set of curves representing the signature of radiation source 1 and the light set representing the signature of radiation source 2; the right hand graph shows the addition of the features of the radiation source 3 to the original radiation sources 1 and 2, which are represented in the graph as the outermost second set of dark curves.
It can be seen that the signals of the different radiation sources differ in the original features extracted by the present invention and can be used for identification of the device. However, the main body shapes of these characteristic curves are uniform, and differ only in fine points. These subtle differences are of real interest for radiation source fingerprinting. The feature curves have high similarity due to the subtlity of the difference along with the increase of the number of the radiation source individuals, the feature curves are seriously overlapped with each other, and the recognition difficulty is greatly increased.
FIG. 4 is a reference featureStandard spectral characteristics amplified by detail information after autocorrelation +.>Is shown (S2.2). The same horizontal axis as in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 represents feature dimensions, and the vertical axis represents featuresAnd (5) a sign value. The calculation is based on the spectral reference feature +.>Features at this time->And the characteristic dimension is 7999 with 4000 as the center and is bilaterally symmetrical. />Is a common part from which individual differences of the radiation sources are eliminated, and the shape of the main body can be used to represent the intended modulation component, which is the input of the component analysis of VMD decomposition in S2.3.
FIG. 5 is a standard spectral featureAfter VMD decomposition with l=3, graph of IMF in time domain (S2.3). It can be seen that after decomposition, different components IMF 1-IMF 3 are decomposed, wherein IMF1 has the strongest energy, which is +.>Whereas IMF3 has the lowest energy and highest frequency, is a spurious component.
FIG. 6 is a feature f calculated by steps S1.1-S1.3 for a newly received sample i n (k) With reference featuresResults of performing cross-correlation->The two sets of differently colored curves in the left panel of fig. 6 represent the characteristics of radiation source 1 (dark) and radiation source 2 (light), respectively, as defined by the curves in fig. 3; the newly added set of dark curves in the right panel represents the radiation source 3 compared to the left panel.
From the symmetry of the waveform on the left and right sides, it can be seen that compared with the standard spectral features(FIG. 4),>and not left-right symmetric. The difference is clearly seen to be exaggerated compared to the original spectral features in fig. 3. And after the target number is increased, the characteristic difference between different network cards is still obvious.
FIG. 7 is a final spectral feature of fingerprint differential amplification obtained after the inventive methodIs shown (S3.2). The characteristic obtained here is that the main component and the stray component h (j) which are not beneficial to the individual identification of the radiation source and are obtained after the VMD decomposition are eliminated, and only unintentional modulation information which can represent the difference between individuals is reserved, so that the amplification of fingerprint information is realized.
The meaning of the curves in the small pictures on the left and right sides in fig. 7 is identical to that in fig. 3 and 6. The curve sub-tables of different colours represent the amplified final spectra of the different radiation sourcesThe curves in the left graph represent the radiation source 1 (dark color) and the radiation source 2 (light color), respectively, and the right graph represents the features of the radiation source 3 (uppermost dark color curve) additionally plotted on the left basis.
The amplification effect is very pronounced compared to the original spectral features in fig. 3.
FIG. 8 is a feature of fingerprint difference amplificationIs a partial enlarged view of (c). The meaning of the curves in the figure corresponds to that of figure 7. The characteristic curves of different targets have different value ranges and different fluctuation rules, so that the distinguishing property is greatly enhanced.
The invention has the effect of performing verification analysis based on the signals transmitted by three wireless network cards of the same model of the IEEE802.11b standard which are actually acquired. The signal working frequency point is 2.4GHz, and the sampling rate is 10GHz. The header portion of the resulting signal frame is detected for analysis at 2500 points in data length. Fig. 2 to 8 are each a practical effect diagram. The human eyes can clearly see that the characteristic curves which are originally distributed together show obvious differences after being processed by the invention, and the original fine differences are obviously amplified.
