contents We propose an algorithm based on Zadoff-Chu (ZC) sequences and time-frequency images (TFI) to achieve drone remote identification (RID). Specifically, by analyzing the modulation parameters and frame structures of drone ratio-frequency (RF) signals in the DroneRFa dataset, we extract prior information about ZC sequences with surprising correlation properties and robustness. Cross-correlation is performed between locally generated ZC sequences and drone signals to derive ZC sequence-based features. Then, these ZF sequence features are fused with TFI features containing communication protocol information to achieve drone RID. To reduce computational costs, data reduction of the cross-correlation features is performed by analyzing the frame structures and modulation parameters, ensuring that the feature performance remained unaffected. Three feature fusion methods, namely probability-weighted addition, feature vector addition, and feature vector concatenation, are analyzed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm improves the average accuracy by at least 2.5\% compared to existing methods, which also indicate robust RID performance under burst interference and background noise. For RF sampling signals at varying flight distances, the proposed algorithm achieves a maximum accuracy of 99.11\%.
