Root cause was entirely on the B210 analysis side — three stacked bugs, all now fixed and validated on hardware (B210 + RTL8812AU, ch36/40/44/48 @ 5210MHz, 61.44Msps): PASS, cycles=14, match_frac=0.814. - matcher: the keyed path required an exact contiguous match anchored at rle[0] with no gap tolerance, so a single dropped/weak dwell truncated the whole score. Replace with keyed_align() — slides over every start offset and resyncs, skipping dropped (drop_tol) and spurious (ins_tol) dwells; gate on match_frac (--match-frac). mirror_map() handles the B210's IQ-inverted spectrum as a channel involution instead of the old sequence-reversal. - classifier: the per-window dominant-channel decision averaged power, diluting the bursty near-field TX below the steady ~9dB band-edge pedestal on the edge channels (collapsing the sequence to a single channel). Use a high percentile (--seq-pct, default 90) to track the dwell peak. - orchestration: bounded TX self-exited during the B210's multi-second bring-up, so the capture caught only a sliver of hopping. Run TX continuously and treat the SDR capture as the bounded op; add SEED/SLOT_MS keyed-slot support.

Library/demo: - HopSchedule::sequential() — a keyless public round-robin that shares the lockstep sync machinery, so "sequential" is a first-class peer of the keyed schedule (needed for the follower experiment: sequential is predictable, keyed is not). Fixed public fingerprint, selftest coverage. - rxdemo lockstep now engages on slot-mode with the seed optional (keyed → tracks the permutation, keyless → the sequential order); tx/streamtx emit the sequential schedule's marker too. - streamtx: fix a shutdown segfault — the device was destructed after libusb was torn down, so Jaguar1's async TX completions reaped against a freed handle (crash leaked the USB claim → "adapter in use" on the next run). reset() the device first. Also emit a lockstep sync marker on its own frame every DEVOURER_HOP_SYNC_EVERY data frames (default 4), so an RX can track the data path without touching the caller's FEC PSDUs. Experiments: - tests/jammer_resilience.py + run_jammer_resilience.sh — parked-jammer A/B/C/D delivery matrix (static clean/jammed vs sequential vs keyed) over the fused-FEC link. Result: static@jammed ~0.00, static@clean ~1.00, hopping ~0.95; sequential ≈ keyed vs a blind parked jammer. - tests/sdr_follower_jammer.py — full-duplex B210 follower (senses on RX while jamming on TX simultaneously), reactive vs predictive. Measured retune latency ~3.5 ms sets the dwell threshold where a reactive follower can no longer track a keyed hopper; reactive chase thrashes (~2100 retunes/20s) where predictive holds (~450), which is exactly the cost a keyed permutation imposes. - docs/jammer-resilience.md — methodology, numbers, and the B210 full-duplex / 60 MS/s tuning notes.

Over a 20 s run against a 50 ms-slot TX the + **reactive** follower issues ~2100 retunes (constant correction — it is always + a step behind an unpredictable hop), while the **predictive** follower issues + ~450 (it pre-positions and holds). The ~5× gap is the keyed schedule forcing + the jammer into a latency-bound reactive chase. +- A co-channel CW follower does deny the link (a keyed run dropped to ~0.11), but + delivery-level denial is stochastic run-to-run because the reactive chase is + only intermittently co-channel. + +**Dwell threshold.** Following breaks when the slot dwell falls below the +follower's reaction latency (~3.5 ms here, retune-limited). Below that a reactive +jammer cannot land on a keyed hopper; a predictive jammer against a sequential +hopper is limited only by its retune time, so it holds to much shorter dwells. +The gap between those two thresholds is what a keyed permutation buys. + +## Notes / limitations + +- The follower needs ≥60 MS/s to span a 60 MHz hopset in one FFT.

Persistent streamers with + serialized control (send burst → sense → retune, one thread) are stable. +- M6 (adaptive hopset exclusion — drop a persistently-jammed channel from the + set) is follow-up work. diff --git a/examples/rx/main.cpp b/examples/rx/main.cpp index b01db581..00f91c5b 100644 --- a/examples/rx/main.cpp +++ b/examples/rx/main.cpp @@ -1041,14 +1041,18 @@ int main() { long hop_rx_slot_ms = 0; if (const char *s = std::getenv("DEVOURER_HOP_SLOT_MS")) hop_rx_slot_ms = std::strtol(s, nullptr, 0); - const bool hop_rx = std::getenv("DEVOURER_HOP_SEED") && hop_rx_slot_ms > 0 && - !hop_rx_channels.empty(); + // Lockstep needs the slot clock + a hopset; the seed is optional — with it + // the RX tracks the keyed order, without it the public sequential order.

This article is about turning that +driver into a **frequency-hopping** radio — one that changes channel fast enough +to hop mid-stream, that can hop in a **keyed, unpredictable** order, that a +single second adapter can **follow in lockstep**, and that measurably survives a +jammer. It covers the design, the wire protocol, and every test we ran to +convince ourselves it works, on real hardware. + +Two companion documents go deeper where this one summarises: the per-generation +retune mechanics are in [frequency-hopping.md](frequency-hopping.md), and the +jammer-resilience methodology is in [jammer-resilience.md](jammer-resilience.md). + +## Why hop at all + +A fixed-channel link has two problems in a contested or congested band. It is +**easy to interfere with** — anyone parked on your channel, deliberately or not, +takes you down — and it is **easy to find**: a static carrier is a beacon for +direction-finding. Frequency hopping addresses both. Spreading transmission +across N channels means a narrowband interferer only touches 1/N of your +traffic, which an error-correcting code can ride through; and a short dwell per +channel gives a watcher little to lock onto. If the hop *order* is also secret, +an adversary cannot even predict where to listen or jam next. That last property +is the difference between a hopping link that merely spreads interference and one +that resists a jammer actively trying to chase it. + +The catch, on this hardware, is that a Wi-Fi NIC has exactly one local +oscillator per radio and speaks over USB. Every hop is a full RF retune pushed +across a USB control path. Doing that at FHSS rates — hundreds of hops a second — +without stalling the data stream is the engineering problem. + +## The hop engine: a lean retune + +`IRtlDevice::FastRetune(channel, cache_rf)` is the generation-agnostic entry +point. The default implementation is the full `SetMonitorChannel`; every chip +family overrides it with a stripped-down path. The vendor's channel-set routine +does a great deal that does not change between two channels of the same band and +width — RF calibration, AGC tables, band-edge filters — so the fast path skips +all of it, caches the RF register writes from the first tune, and on subsequent +hops replays only the two-or-so registers that actually encode the new +frequency. The full derivation of each trick is in +[frequency-hopping.md](frequency-hopping.md); the payoff is a per-hop cost that +turns a hop from a visible glitch into a rounding error: + +| DUT | full path | fast (cached) | +|-----|-----------|---------------| +| RTL8812AU (Jaguar1) | ~277 ms | **~1.6 ms** | +| RTL8822BU (Jaguar2) | ~65 ms | **~2.5 ms** | +| RTL8821CU (Jaguar2) | ~30 ms | **~0.55 ms** | +| RTL8822CU (Jaguar3) | ~12 ms | **~1.9 ms** | +| RTL8812EU (Jaguar3) | ~12 ms | **~2.4 ms** | + +The first hop after a full set primes the cache (~50 ms on Jaguar1); every +same-band hop after that is the number in the right-hand column. Hopping is +radiotap-driven — a frame can carry its own `CHANNEL` field — so it is per-packet +and needs no API change, exactly like rate or bandwidth. + +## The schedule: sequential and keyed + +A hopset is an ordered list of channels (`DEVOURER_HOP_CHANNELS`, e.g. +`36,40,44,48`). The transmitter advances through it one **slot** at a time. +`DEVOURER_HOP_SLOT_MS` makes the slot a fixed wall-clock interval; the slot +number is just elapsed-time / slot-length, so the schedule is a pure function of +time. + +Two orderings share one code path (`src/HopSchedule.h`): + +- **Sequential** — the public round-robin `channels[slot mod N]`. Predictable by + anyone who knows the hopset. +- **Keyed** — set `DEVOURER_HOP_SEED` to a 128-bit key and each *round* (a full + pass over the hopset) is a fresh Fisher-Yates permutation, its randomness drawn + from **SipHash-2-4** keyed by the seed and salted by the round number. Every + channel still occurs exactly once per round, but the order is a keyed + pseudo-random permutation an adversary cannot predict without the key. + +The important design property is that the keyed schedule is **stateless**: +`channel(slot) = permutation(slot / N)[slot mod N]`, computed from the key and +the absolute slot with no running RNG state. A receiver — or a re-joining one — +derives the same channel for any slot without replaying history. The +permutation uses rejection sampling for an unbiased shuffle, and a headless test +(`tests/hop_schedule_selftest.cpp`, wired into `ctest`) pins the SipHash output +against the reference vectors, checks that every round is a permutation, checks +key- and round-sensitivity, and checks the stateless-lookup identity. + +## Lockstep receive: one adapter that follows + +A hopping transmitter is invisible to a receiver parked on one channel — it only +hears the ~1/N of frames that happen to land there. The usual answers are N +receivers or a wideband SDR. devourer adds a third: a single adapter that +**hops in lockstep** with the transmitter. + +The transmitter periodically emits a small **synchronization marker** — a private +vendor frame carrying the schedule fingerprint (which key/order), a per-process +epoch (to detect a transmitter restart), the current slot, and the in-slot phase +in microseconds. `txdemo` piggybacks it on its beacon; `streamtx` sends it on its +own frame every few data frames, so an application's FEC payload is never +touched. The marker is the shared clock: from `(slot, phase, arrival time)` the +receiver solves for the transmitter's slot-zero epoch and then, because the +schedule is stateless and it knows the key (or that the order is sequential), +computes which channel to be on for every future slot. + +`rxdemo` runs a small state machine: **acquire** (scan the hopset until a marker +decodes), **track** (retune per slot on the recovered clock, low-pass-filtering +the phase estimate so it rides out jitter), and re-acquire after a few +marker-free slots. `hop.rx` events expose the state, per-hop retune time, and the +dead time from retune to first decode. Because the marker mechanism is identical +for keyed and sequential, both orders are trackable; the seed is optional. + +## Validation + +Two independent methods, because each has a blind spot. + +### Two-adapter endurance + +An RTL8812AU transmits a keyed hopping stream; an RTL8812CU follows it in +lockstep; both are pure userspace devourer. This measures the receiver's ability +to actually decode through the retunes over a long run. A representative session: +**598.3 seconds, 11 968 transmitted slots at 50 ms on channels 36/40/44/48**. The +receiver acquired once, tracked all 11 965 unique slots with no loss/reacquire +transition, and decoded within **11 891 of them (99.38 %)** — every one of the 74 +misses an isolated single slot. Cross-channel RX retune ran 2.18 ms median / +2.65 ms p95; post-retune first decode 1.82 ms median. This is the ground truth +that lockstep tracking is real and robust, not a statistical artefact. + +### Wideband SDR + +The endurance test proves the *receiver* decodes, but a decoder is a poor witness +for the *transmitter*: a sensitive receiver can mask a weak or misordered hop. So +a USRP B210 captures all the hop channels at once and reconstructs the dominant +channel over time, checking it against the keyed schedule the key predicts +(`tests/hop_rx_probe.py`, driven by `tests/run_hop_validation.sh`). + +Getting this right was itself instructive. The SDR analysis is a chain of places +to be wrong, and a false negative there looks exactly like a transmitter bug: + +- The keyed-sequence matcher originally required an exact contiguous run anchored + at the first observed dwell, with no tolerance for a dropped one. It is now a + gap-tolerant aligner that slides over every offset and resyncs across dropped + or spurious dwells, gated on a match fraction. +- The per-window "which channel is loudest" decision averaged power. The + near-field transmitter is bursty, so averaging let a steady band-edge pedestal + (edge channels sit ~9 dB higher on the B210) win every window and collapse the + sequence. A high-percentile statistic tracks the bursty dwell instead. +- A bounded transmitter run finished during the B210's multi-second bring-up, so + the capture saw only a sliver of hopping. The transmitter now hops + continuously through the whole capture. +- The B210 presents an IQ-mirrored spectrum, handled as a channel involution. + +With those fixed, the SDR confirms the keyed order end-to-end: **14 keyed rounds, +overflow-free, at 0.814 match fraction** — comfortably past the strict 10-round +threshold. The aligner ships an offline `--self-test` (no SDR needed) that +reproduces the original matcher failure as a regression guard. + +## Jammer resilience + +Hopping is only worth the complexity if it buys resilience, so we measured it +end-to-end over the fused-FEC link. Full methodology and knobs are in +[jammer-resilience.md](jammer-resilience.md); the results: + +### A parked narrowband jammer + +The B210 parks on one channel of the hopset; we measure FEC-decoded delivery +under four transmit strategies (channels 36/40/44/48, jammer on ch 40, 50 ms +slots): + +| strategy | fec_delivery | +|----------|--------------| +| static, on a clean channel | ~1.00 | +| static, on the jammed channel | ~0.00 | +| sequential hop | ~0.95 | +| keyed hop | ~0.95 | + +The story is clear: a static link that lands on the jammed channel is fully +denied, while hopping bounds the damage to the 1/N of dwells that touch it and +the Reed-Solomon + sub-block code recovers that erasure fraction. **Against a +blind parked jammer, sequential and keyed are identical** (repeat runs 0.948 / +0.950 vs 0.947 / 0.950) — the jammer cannot exploit an order it does not +observe. Which is the whole point: the order only has to be secret against a +jammer that *reacts*. + +### A following jammer + +So we built one. `tests/sdr_follower_jammer.py` chases the hopping transmitter. +The B210 is a 2×2 (two receive and two transmit frontends off one AD9361), so it +**senses on RX while jamming on TX simultaneously** — no time-multiplexing. A +wideband RX burst (one FFT spans the hopset) finds the transmitter's current +channel; a CW tone on the TX frontend denies it, retuned when the target moves. +Two strategies, matched to the order it faces: + +- **reactive** (against keyed): jam where the transmitter was just sensed. A hit + needs the transmitter still there after the sense-and-retune latency. +- **predictive** (against sequential): jam the channel the public order says + comes *next*, which cancels the follower's own latency. + +Measured on this rig, the follower's reaction is dominated by the B210 transmit +retune at **~3.5 ms** (wideband sensing itself costs ~0.3 ms). That latency is +the floor on how fast any reactive follower here can move, and it **favours the +defender**. The two strategies' chase dynamics diverge sharply: over a 20-second +run against a 50 ms-slot transmitter, the **reactive** follower issues ~2100 +retunes (constant correction — always a step behind an unpredictable hop) while +the **predictive** follower issues ~450 (it pre-positions and holds). That ≈5× +gap *is* the keyed schedule forcing the jammer into a latency-bound reactive +chase instead of a free ride. + +The dwell threshold where following breaks is set by that reaction latency: once +the slot dwell falls below it (~3.5 ms here), a reactive jammer can no longer +land on a keyed hopper, while a predictive jammer against a sequential hopper is +limited only by its retune time and holds to much shorter dwells. The gap +between those two thresholds is exactly what a keyed permutation buys. + +## Where it stands, and what is next + +What works today, on hardware: fast intra-band retune on all three chip +generations; sequential and keyed slot-hopping driven purely by radiotap and +environment; single-adapter lockstep receive validated to 99.38 % over ten +minutes and cross-checked by a wideband SDR; and a measured resilience story +against both a parked and a following jammer. + +The honest edges: retune is intra-band (a cross-band hop correctly falls back to +the slow full set); per-hop TX power is not re-tuned, so a hopset spanning a wide +5 GHz range wants a periodic full set to refresh per-rate power; the follower +experiment uses a 3-channel hopset because a single B210 needs ≥60 MS/s to span +a 60 MHz hopset in one FFT and trips a UHD tuning assertion at the usual +61.44 MS/s. And the natural next step — **adaptive hopset exclusion**, dropping a +persistently-jammed channel from the set so the link stops visiting it at all — +is future work. diff --git a/docs/frequency-hopping.md b/docs/frequency-hopping.md index 2e540f88..a11f947f 100644 --- a/docs/frequency-hopping.md +++ b/docs/frequency-hopping.md @@ -14,22 +14,30 @@ Setting `DEVOURER_HOP_SEED` to up to 32 hexadecimal digits replaces the public round-robin order with a SipHash-2-4-driven Fisher-Yates permutation for every round.
