Non-cooperative signal modulation recognition algorithm based on joint feature parameter extraction by Haifei SI, Xingliu HU, Zhen SHI, Shiyong LI

“…Aiming at the problem that in the current electromagnetic environment,the modulation method is complicated,the frequency-consuming equipment increases,the spectrum is congested,and the electromagnetic environment interference increases,the algorithm of OFDM signal detection and subcarrier identification in the background of non-cooperative communication were deeply studied.Using the different distribution states of OFDM signals and single carrier signals in the time domain,a joint characteristic parameter was proposed to solve the existence problem of OFDM in the received signal.For the phase shift and frequency offset problems caused by the channel transmission to the signal,by using the periodic stability the blind parameter estimation was performed to obtain the signal prior information.On the basis of the obtained signal prior information,a multi-level classification and recognition method for non-cooperative OFDM signal sub-carrier signals was proposed.Therefore,a model based on non-cooperative communication system OFDM signal detection and subcarrier modulation identification was designed,and finally modulation identification of unknown signals was completed.Simulation experiments show that in non-cooperative communication systems,OFDM signals and single-carrier signals can be accurately identified,and ideal modulation recognition effects can be achieved on empty subcarriers,QPSK,and 16QAM in the receiver OFDM signal subcarriers,overcoming the channel transmission band The problems of phase shift and frequency offset have improved the accuracy of modulation mode identification.…”

Secure and collaborative spectrum sensing scheme based on audit game by Yuntao WANG, Zhou SU, Qichao XU, Yiliang LIU, Haixia PENG, Hao LUAN

“…To defend against poisoning attacks and free-riding attacks conducted by malicious sensing terminals in crowd sensing-based collaborative spectrum sensing (CCSS), a novel audit game-based defense scheme was proposed, which combined the pre-deterrence and post-punishment mechanisms.Firstly, considering the audit budget constraint, a mixed-strategy audit game model under incomplete information was designed, which set a penalty strategy to deter malicious collaborators before spectrum sensing, and audited and punished them after the fusion of sensing data.Then, a lightweight audit chain model with on-chain and off-chain collaboration was designed, in which audit evidence was stored in an off-chain data warehouse and its metadata was publicly published on the blockchain.Furthermore, a distributed and intelligent audit algorithm based on reinforcement learning was devised to adaptively seek the approximate mix-strategy equilibrium of the audit game.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can quickly obtain the stable and approximately optimal audit strategies and actively suppress the poisoning and free-riding behaviors of malicious collaborators, in comparison with conventional schemes.…”
