Solution Overview
Problem
Existing radio wave transmission device identification systems face accuracy issues due to factors related to both the radio wave propagation path and the characteristics of the receiving device, which can affect the identification of the transmission device.
Innovation Solution
A system that includes reception units, feature output units correcting signal features based on receiver characteristics, and identification units that identify transmission devices using both corrected signal features and transmission radio wave features, thereby reducing the influence of receiving device characteristics on identification accuracy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If receiver characteristics are not corrected, then the identification system is simpler, but the identification accuracy deteriorates due to the influence of receiving device characteristics
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing correction values for receiver characteristics in a lookup table before actual signal identification occurs. When a signal is received, the system simply retrieves the pre-computed correction values based on the received signal strength, avoiding complex real-time calculations and maintaining high identification accuracy without adding significant system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary correction mechanism that mediates between the raw receiver characteristics and the identification process. A correction value is computed based on the relationship between received signal strength and receiver characteristics, then applied to adjust the identification results, effectively isolating the identification algorithm from receiver variability without requiring direct modification of the receiver hardware.
2Measurement precision
If receiver characteristic correction is implemented, then identification accuracy improves, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary characterization of receiver responses across different signal strength levels and stores these correction values in advance. This pre-processing approach converts complex real-time correction calculations into simple table lookups during actual operation, significantly reducing processing complexity while maintaining identification accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by automatically computing and applying correction values based on the received signal strength without requiring manual calibration or external intervention. The correction mechanism serves itself by using the received signal characteristics to determine the appropriate correction, eliminating the need for complex external measurement and adjustment procedures.

AI summary
A transmission device identification system includes: one or more reception units; a feature output unit that outputs, for each of the one or more reception units, a feature of a reception signal of the reception unit, the feature being corrected based on a receiver characteristic of the reception unit; and an identification unit that identifies a transmission device that is a radio wave transmitting source based on the feature and a transmission radio wave feature, the transmission radio wave feature indicating a feature of a transmission radio wave for each transmission device.
