Blind source separation for wireless networks: A tool for topology sensing
2020
In this work, a tool for topology sensing of a non-collaborative wireless network using power profiles captured by radio-frequency (RF) sensors is proposed. Assuming that the features of the network (i.e., the number of nodes, medium access control (MAC) and routing protocols) are unknown and that the sensors observe signal mixtures because of the wireless medium, blind source separation (BSS) is used to separate the traffic profiles. Successively, the topology of the network is inferred by detecting causal relationships between the separated streams. According to the numerical results, the proposed tool senses the topology with promising accuracy when operating in mild shadowing conditions, even with a relatively low number of radio-frequency (RF) sensors.
