Database of RF fingerprinting on use case IoT devices

This document is a dataset of radiofrequency signals. It is composed of 1000 signals coming emitted by 10 different devices. This dataset was developped for benchmarking machine learning methods on an Internet of Things classification task: recognizing which device emitted a signal.

This dataset is in an adaptation of the dataset collected by Basak et al. in “Drone classification from RF fingerprints using deep residual nets” (IEEE COMSNETS conference, 2021).

Basak et al. collected signals from six commercial drones, three drone radio-controllers and one WiFi router. The conducted the measurements in an anechoic chamber, using a universal software radio peripheral (USRP X310) placed seven meters apart from the devices . The signals were all in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and the whole 100 MHz band was received instantaneously using a receiving sampling rate of 100 MSps (i.e. the system down-converted the signal frequencies to the 0-100 MHz band to sample them correctly).

While the original dataset by Basak et al. consisted in spectrograms of 256 frequency bins by 256 time frames, we have converted in into averaged spectra of 256 frequency bins. Furthermore, while Basak et al. have considered several noise levels, here we only consider the lowest noise level available (-60 dBm).

The database is stored in an h5 file, a format adapted to databases. Inside the file there are two datasets: the signals (‘Signals’) and the targets (‘Targets’).  The targets correspond to the ten different classes of signals: Parrot Disco (0), Q205 (1), Tello (2), MultiTx (3), Nine Eagles (4), Spektrum DX4e (5), Spectrum DX6i (6), Wltoys (7), S500 (8) and Linkys router (9).

This dataset corresponds to the Deliverable D6.2 of the RadioSpin EU funded project.
