Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of radio frequency fingerprint recognition technology, specifically to a C-V2X radio frequency fingerprint recognition method based on multi-channel robust feature fusion. Background Technology
[0002] C-V2X is a core technology for secure communication in vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. Its device authentication relies on radio frequency fingerprinting technology. This technology uses unique signal characteristics brought about by differences in transmitter hardware to achieve identification. It usually extracts features based on the effective subcarrier sequence of the Physical Side Link Broadcast Channel (PSBCH). Existing solutions mostly use single features such as channel response and cepstrum to complete fingerprint construction, which can achieve basic identity verification in simple scenarios.
[0003] In real-world vehicle-to-everything (V2X) scenarios, channel fading and multipath interference can significantly reduce the robustness of a single feature. Meanwhile, existing technologies do not fully exploit the inherent and coupled information of the I / Q components, and lack adaptive weight allocation during multi-feature fusion. The dimensional differences between different features can easily lead to information loss, resulting in insufficient recognition accuracy and low computational efficiency in complex scenarios. This makes it difficult to meet the high reliability and low latency authentication requirements of C-V2X, thus necessitating an optimized RF fingerprint recognition scheme that integrates multiple features. Summary of the Invention

[0041] The processed preliminary feature representation is divided into real and imaginary components in the height dimension, and a real-valued two-dimensional convolution containing real and imaginary convolution kernels is constructed. Convolution operations are performed on the real and imaginary components respectively to obtain four sets of intermediate features.
[0042] The real output component is obtained by subtracting the convolution result of the real component and the real convolution kernel and the convolution result of the imaginary component and the imaginary convolution kernel through complex value operation logic. The imaginary output component is obtained by adding the convolution result of the real component and the imaginary convolution kernel and the convolution result of the imaginary component and the real convolution kernel.

At the same time, the weights are multiplied with the corresponding high-dimensional features one channel at a time for recalibration to obtain the recalibrated features. Residual connections are introduced to add the recalibrated features to the original high-dimensional features to obtain the attention-enhanced features for each channel.
[0050] The three attention enhancement features are concatenated along the channel dimension to obtain multi-channel concatenated features. These multi-channel concatenated features are then input into a pointwise convolutional layer for cross-channel information interaction and recombination, outputting the final fused feature representation.

[0058] The fused feature representation is input into a two-dimensional convolutional layer, and channel dimensionality reduction is performed through the two-dimensional convolutional layer to obtain the dimensionality-reduced feature representation.
[0059] The dimensionality-reduced features are input into three cascaded multi-path residual augmentation blocks. Each augmentation block contains three parallel processing paths: path one directly passes the input features to the output; path two is a local feature capture path consisting of two cascaded convolutional units; and each convolutional layer is followed by a batch normalization layer. The activation function, path three is the discriminative feature path, which is composed of depthwise separable convolution and multi-head self-attention scores concatenated. At the end of each enhancement block, the output features of the three paths are fused by adding them element by element to obtain the enhanced features.

At the same time, the features are mapped to a uniform length through a fully connected layer to obtain a three-way normalized feature representation.
[0067] The feature adaptive fusion module is used to increase the dimensionality of the three normalized features respectively, process them through global average pooling, and introduce residual connections to obtain attention-enhanced features. At the same time, the attention-enhanced features are concatenated and input into the pointwise convolutional layer to output the fused feature representation.
