Automated rf dataset creation

A method of automatically generating a labeled radio frequency dataset comprising,

• selecting one or more collection parameters associated with a software-defined radio, wherein the collection parameters correspond to at least one analog radio frequency signal protocol;
• receiving an analog radio frequency signal at the software-defined radio;
• using an analog-to-digital converter to convert the analog radio frequency signal to a digital signal;
• creating a first digital file, wherein the first digital file comprises raw signal information corresponding to the received radio frequency signal;
• creating a second digital file, wherein the second file comprises metadata information corresponding to the received radio frequency signal;
• correlating the raw signal information at a plurality of first timestamps with metadata information at a plurality of second timestamps;
• and
• creating a labeled dataset, wherein the dataset comprises the raw signal information from the first file with the correlated time-associated metadata information from the second file.

A non-transitory tangible processor-readable storage medium encoded with instructions for executing a method for automatically generating a labeled radio frequency signal dataset, the method comprising:

• receiving an analog radio frequency signal;
• converting the analog radio frequency signal to a digital signal;
• creating a first digital file, wherein the first digital file comprises,
• raw radio frequency signal burst data corresponding to the received radio frequency signal,
• a plurality of first timestamps associated with the raw radio frequency signal burst data;
• creating a second digital file corresponding to the received radio frequency signal, wherein,
• the second digital file comprises information related to a plurality of packets,
• each of the plurality of packets comprises one of a plurality of second timestamps and a label;
• and
• creating the labeled radio frequency signal dataset by,
• identifying the one of a plurality of second timestamps associated with each of the first timestamps, and
• associating the label at each identified one of a plurality of second timestamps with the raw rf signal burst data at each of the first timestamps.
