TrustAgent-RFF: Agentic Diagnostic Planning for Reliable RF Fingerprinting under Domain Shift

We propose TrustAgent-RFF, a prediction level reliability framework for RFF that operates with a frozen in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) classifier without target domain labels.

Key points

  • Radio frequency fingerprinting (RFF) models can achieve accuracy under source domain conditions but become unreliable when the receiver, distance, collection day, or environment changes.
  • For each device prediction, the framework acquires radio frequency evidence: counterfactual stability, prototype consistency, acquisition domain similarity, and signal quality.
  • A source calibrated trust estimator combines these diagnostics with classifier confidence, prediction margin, and evidence availability indicators.
  • Experiments across five RFF datasets and classifier backbones reveal an average source to target accuracy drop of 38.7% and show that many incorrect target domain predictions remain highly confident.
