Channel-Informed Neural Network for Physical Layer Key Generation

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper presents a channel-informed neural network for physical-layer key generation (PKG) that extracts binary key features directly from IQ measurements while grounding the representation in the multipath channel. The multi-task recurrent network jointly learns reciprocity-preserving features and an auxiliary channel estimate, using deep metric learning and channel-informed supervision. Experiments on indoor and outdoor software-defined-radio data show lower bit disagreement for legitimate users, improved key diversity with ray-traced augmentation, and successful NIST randomness tests after SHA-3 privacy amplification.

WiNeRF: Measurement Constrained Radiance Fields for Actionable Wireless Channel Modeling

WiNeRF is a neural field framework that learns a spatially continuous, complex-valued wireless channel representation from sparse channel state information collected by commodity WiFi devices. It incorporates system constraints such as antenna geometry, limited spatial resolution, and phase uncertainty through a 3D conical wave sampling model, a multi-resolution implicit scene representation, and a differentiable optimization framework. In diverse indoor environments with non‑line‑of‑sight regions, WiNeRF achieves a median prediction SNR of 5.3 dB, outperforming prior neural baselines by 4.9 dB on average, and produces a task‑agnostic channel representation that can be reused in standard signal‑processing pipelines without hardware or protocol changes.
