Frequency-hopping frequency reconnaissance and prediction for non-cooperative communication network

Abstract

The continuous change of communication frequency brings difficulties to the reconnaissance and prediction of non-cooperative communication networks. Since the frequency-hopping (FH) sequence is usually generated by a certain model with certain regularity, the FH frequency is thus predictable. In this paper, we investigate the FH frequency reconnaissance and prediction of a non-cooperative communication network by effective FH signal detection, time-frequency (TF) analysis, wavelet detection and frequency estimation. With the intercepted massive FH signal data, long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network model is constructed for FH frequency prediction. Simulation results show that our parameter estimation methods could estimate frequency accurately in the presence of certain noise. Moreover, the LSTM-based scheme can effectively predict FH frequency and frequency interval.
