Abstract
Software-defined radios (SDRs) with substantial cognitive (computing) and networking capabilities provide an opportunity for observing radio communications in an area and potentially identifying malicious rogue agents. Assuming a prevalence of encryption methods, a cognitive network of such SDRs can be used as a low-cost and flexible scanner/sensor array for distributed detection of anomalous communications by focusing on their statistical characteristics. Identifying rogue agents based on their wireless communications patterns is not a trivial task, especially when they deliberately try to mask their activities. We address this problem using a novel framework that utilizes adversarial learn..
