An RFML Ecosystem: Considerations for the Application of Deep Learning to Spectrum Situational Awareness

Abstract: While deep learning (DL) technologies are now pervasive in state-of-the-art Computer Vision (CV) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications, only in recent years have these technologies started to sufficiently mature in applications related to wireless communications, a field loosely termed Radio Frequency Machine Learning (RFML). In particular, recent research has shown DL to be an enabling technology for Cognitive Radio (CR) applications as well as a useful tool for supplementing expertly defined alg… Show more

“…In practice, the problem becomes vastly more complex as relative motion between transceivers, multiple transceivers, environmental noise, environmental motion, unintended radio emissions from manmade devices, mutlipath interference, and the imperfect hardware that transmits and receives the waveform are introduced. An introduction to the effects of imperfect hardware is given by Fettweis et al in [27] by looking at the individual degradations the hardware can add to a system as well as some mitigation strategies that can be applied; however, it is worth mentioning that these degradations are compounding and time varying, so while the worst of the effects can be calibrated out, the effects persist and cause a separation from the ideals assumed in (8). For an example of how these degradations affect the ideal, here the frequency independent In-phase and Quadrature Imbalance (IQI) of the transceivers result in a carrier modulation functions that are ideally expressed as ξ T X(ideal) (t, f c ) = exp(j2πf c t) for the transmitter for a carrier frequency f c and ξ RX(ideal) (t, f c ) = exp(−j2πf c t) for the receiver as…”

“…The application of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques in wireless communications settings has yielded state-of-the-art spectrum awareness, cognitive radio (CR), and networking algorithms. Such algorithms that utilize raw radio frequency (RF) data as input to ML/DL techniques are considered radio frequency machine learning (RFML) algorithms [1], [2]. Like all traditional ML techniques, most state-of-the-art RFML algorithms require copious amounts of labelled training data drawn from the intended deployment environment, and for the intended deployment environment to remain stable, in order to achieve said state-of-the-art performance [3].…”
