Physical layer identification of LoRa devices using constellation trace figure

LoRa wireless technology is a revolutionary wireless network access technology with a wide application prospect. An identification method for Lora devices based on physical layer fingerprinting is proposed to provide identities for authentication. Contrary to previous works, a differential constellation trace figure is established from the radio frequency (RF) fingerprinting features of LoRa devices, which transforms the feature matching to the image recognition. A classification method based on Euclidean distance of clustering center of LoRa signal is performed to analyze the differential constellation trace figure. The experimental results show that six LoRa transmission modules can be recognized accurately, and even in a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment, the different LoRa devices can still be distinguished and identified effectively.
