Summary :

This paper presents a physical layer wireless device identification method that uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) operating on a quadrant IQ transition image. This work introduces classification and detection tasks in one process. The proposed method can identify IoT wireless devices by exploiting their RF fingerprints, a technology to identify wireless devices by using unique variations in analog signals. We propose a quadrant IQ image technique to reduce the size of CNN while maintaining accuracy. The CNN utilizes the IQ transition image, which image processing cut out into four-part. An over-the-air experiment is performed on six Zigbee wireless devices to confirm the proposed identification method's validity. The measurement results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve 99% accuracy with the light-weight CNN model with 36,500 weight parameters in serial use and 146,000 in parallel use. Furthermore, the proposed threshold algorithm can verify the authenticity using one classifier and achieved 80% accuracy for further secured wireless communication. This work also introduces the identification of expanded signals with SNR between 10 to 30dB. As a result, at SNR values above 20dB, the proposals achieve classification and detection accuracies of 87% and 80%, respectively.
