Reliable UAV Monitoring System Using Deep Learning Approaches

In recent years, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) or drones have become ubiquitous in our daily lives, bringing great convenience to our lives and playing a pivotal role in future wireless networks and the Internet of things. One of the major problems associated with the UAV is the heterogeneous nature of such deployments; this heterogeneity poses many challenges, particularly in the areas of security and privacy. The key to solving these problems is to accurately identify and authenticate drones. In this article, a reliable UAV identify framework based on radio frequency fingerprint is proposed. First, we established a wireless signal label architecture and systematically collected, analyzed, and recorded the radio frequency signals of different UAVs in different flight modes and different distances in the telemetry link, and established UAV signal datasets. Then, the intelligent algorithm and anti-UAV system are designed by using the collected dataset, and the feasibility of the developed dataset for detecting and identifying UAVs is verified by using machine learning and deep learning. The simulation results show that under the condition of Gaussian white noise, the method based on deep learning achieves high reliability, and when the SNR is not less than 5dB, the model achieves more than 95% of the monitoring and recognition accuracy. Finally, we discussed the possible applications of the dataset in the future.
