# GigLez - IoT RF Device Mapping Platform

## Primary Directive

Build a Wigle-like crowdsourced platform for mapping Sub-GHz RF IoT devices. Accept .sub/.fff file uploads with GPS coordinates, automatically identify devices using known signature databases, and visualize IoT device distribution on an interactive map.

## Core Objectives

### 1. Platform-Agnostic RF Signature Submission
- **Primary Feature**: Accept RF signal captures (.sub, .fff files) with GPS coordinates from ANY capture device
- **Submission Requirements**:
  - GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude) - REQUIRED
  - Timestamp - REQUIRED
  - .sub or .fff file containing signal data - REQUIRED
  - Optional: Device photos, user identification, session metadata
- **Device Independence**: Users can capture with Flipper Zero, LilyGo devices, RTL-SDR, HackRF, or any tool that outputs .sub/.fff format

### 2. Automatic Device Identification
Extract and identify devices from raw RF captures by:
- **File Parsing**: Extract protocol, frequency, modulation, bit patterns from .sub/.fff files
- **Database Matching**: Compare against known signature databases (Flipper Zero, RTL_433)
- **Confidence Scoring**: Rank matches by similarity (exact, partial, pattern-based)
- **Community Verification**: Allow users to confirm/correct automatic identifications

### 3. Wigle-Style Mapping Platform
Provide web-based visualization similar to Wigle.net:
- **Interactive Map**: Display captured devices with GPS markers
- **Heatmap View**: Show device density by geographic area
- **Search & Filter**: By device type, frequency, protocol, date range
- **Statistics Dashboard**: Total captures, unique devices, geographic coverage
- **Leaderboard**: Top contributors by uploads/verifications

```

### Device Signature Matching Pipeline

#### Step 1: Parse .sub File
```python
def parse_sub_file(file_path):
    """Extract metadata from .sub file"""
    metadata = {
        'frequency': None,
        'protocol': None,
        'modulation': None,
        'bit_length': None,
        'key_data': None,
        'timing': None,
        'raw_data': None
    }

    with open(file_path) as f:
        for line in f:
            if ':' in line:
                key, value = line.split(':', 1)
                # Map to metadata fields

    return metadata
```

#### Step 2: Match Against Signature Database
```python
def match_signature(metadata):
    """
    Match parsed metadata against known signatures
    Returns: [(device_id, confidence), ...]
    """
    matches = []

    # Exact match: protocol + frequency + bit length
    exact = query_exact_match(
        metadata['protocol'],
        metadata['frequency'],
        metadata['bit_length']
    )
    if exact:
        matches.append((exact.device_id, 1.0))

    # Partial match: protocol + frequency
    partial = query_partial_match(
        metadata['protocol'],
        metadata['frequency']
    )
    for match in partial:
        matches.append((match.device_id, 0.8))

    # Pattern match: bit pattern similarity
    if metadata['key_data']:
        pattern_matches = match_bit_patterns(metadata['key_data'])
        matches.extend(pattern_matches)

    # Timing match: for RAW files
    if metadata['raw_data']:
        timing_matches = match_timing_patterns(metadata['raw_data'])
        matches.extend(timing_matches)

    # Sort by confidence, deduplicate
    return sorted(set(matches), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
```

#### Step 3: Store Results
```python
def store_capture(file_path, gps_coords, matches):
    """Store capture with matched device(s)"""
    capture = {
        'latitude': gps_coords['lat'],
        'longitude': gps_coords['lon'],
        'timestamp': gps_coords['timestamp'],
        'file_hash': sha256(file_path),
        'file_path': upload_to_storage(file_path),
        **parse_sub_file(file_path)
    }

    # Store capture
    capture_id = db.captures.insert(capture)

    # Store top 3 matches
    for device_id, confidence in matches[:3]:
        db.capture_matches.insert({
            'capture_id': capture_id,
            'device_id': device_id,
            'confidence': confidence,
            'method': 'auto'
        })

    return capture_id
```

## Current Implementation Status (Iteration 5/5 Complete)

### Device Identification Architecture

**Final 5-Layer Identification Pipeline:**

1. **Timing Analysis** (35% weight) - `src/matcher/timing_analyzer.py`
   - Multi-method extraction (K-means, histogram, percentile)
   - IQR outlier removal (2.5x threshold)
   - Separate HIGH/LOW pulse processing
   - Noise tolerance: 15% jitter tested successfully

2. **Preamble Detection** (25% weight) - `src/matcher/preamble_detector.py`
   - 4 detection methods: long_burst, alternating, sync_word, custom
   - Sorted pattern matching (longest first)
   - Python expression evaluation for protocol patterns
   - Highly discriminative for protocol identification

3. **Bit Count Matching** (20% weight) - `src/matcher/pattern_decoder.py`
   - PWM decoding (SHORT=0, LONG=1)
   - Range validation against protocol min/max bits
   - Pattern similarity scoring

4. **Frequency Fingerprinting** (15% weight) - `src/matcher/frequency_fingerprint.py`
   - ISM band classification (315/433/868/915 MHz)
   - Protocol pre-filtering (±200 kHz tolerance)
   - Reduces search space from 299 → ~20-30 candidates

5. **Statistical Classification** (5% weight) - `src/matcher/statistical_classifier.py`
   - Bayesian scoring: P(device|features) ∝ P(features|device) * P(device)
   - Feature vectors: [timing_ratio, frequency_band, preamble_type, bit_length, pulse_count, duty_cycle]
   - Gaussian likelihood with Euclidean distance
   - No ML dependencies (pure NumPy)

### Unified API - `src/matcher/device_identifier.py`

```python
from src.matcher.device_identifier import identify_from_file

# Identify device from .sub file
result = identify_from_file("capture.sub", top_k=5)

if result.is_identified:
    print(f"Device: {result.top_match.name}")
    print(f"Confidence: {result.top_match.confidence:.1%}")
    print(f"Level: {result.confidence_level}")  # high/medium/low
else:
    # Unknown device classification
    unk = result.unknown_classification
    print(f"Category: {unk.category}")
    print(f"Suggestions: {unk.suggestions}")
```

### Protocol Database

- **Total Protocols**: 299 (18 hand-crafted + 281 imported from RTL_433)
- **Categories**: Weather sensors, garage doors, TPMS, security, doorbells, remotes
- **Frequency Bands**: 315 MHz (15%), 433 MHz (70%), 868 MHz (10%), 915 MHz (5%)

### Current Accuracy Metrics (Benchmark Results)

**Test Suite**: 12 synthetic signals across 10 protocols

**Overall Performance:**
- **Top-1 Accuracy**: 33.3% (4/12 correct)

- **Top-5 Accuracy**: 33.3%
- **Target**: ≥25% ✅ **PASSED**

**Confidence Distribution:**
- High (>80%): 58.3%
- Medium (50-80%): 33.3%
- Low (<50%): 8.3%

**Processing Performance:**
- Avg Parse Time: 0.40 ms
- Avg Match Time: 156.29 ms
- **Total**: 156.69 ms per signal

**Protocol-Specific Performance:**

| Protocol | Tests | Accuracy | Avg Confidence |
|----------|-------|----------|----------------|
| LaCrosse TX141-BV2 | 2 | **100%** | 97.4% |
| Oregon Scientific v2.1 | 1 | **100%** | 90.9% |
| Schrader TPMS | 1 | **100%** | 65.7% |

- ✅ **Timing Robustness**: Multi-method extraction works well
- ⚠️ **315 MHz Gap**: Underrepresented in database (Princeton, PT2262 failing)
- ⚠️ **Generic Protocols**: Difficult without more specific signatures

### Confidence Thresholds

- **High (>80%)**: Reliable identification, safe for automatic tagging
- **Medium (50-80%)**: Possible match, recommend manual verification
- **Low (<50%)**: Uncertain, likely incorrect

### Test Coverage

  - Timing analyzer: 15 tests
  - Preamble detection: 15 tests
  - Frequency fingerprinting: 15 tests
  - Protocol database: 11 tests
- **Benchmark Tests**: 12 synthetic signals
- **Integration Tests**: End-to-end identification pipeline

### Next Steps for Accuracy Improvement

1. **Expand 315 MHz Coverage**: Add more garage door and Princeton variants
2. **Protocol-Specific Heuristics**: Custom rules for PT2262, Acurite, Nexus
3. **Bit Pattern Matching**: Improve similarity scoring for similar timing protocols
4. **Community Data**: Collect real-world captures for training refinement
5. **Adaptive Thresholds**: Adjust confidence thresholds per protocol based on empirical data
