contents Radio frequency fingerprints (RFFs) enable secure wireless authentication but struggle in open-set scenarios with unknown devices and varying channels. Existing methods face challenges in generalization and incur high computational costs. We propose a lightweight, self-adaptive RFF extraction framework using Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA). By pretraining LoRA modules per environment, our method enables fast adaptation to unseen channel conditions without full retraining. During inference, a weighted combination of LoRAs dynamically enhances feature extraction. Experimental results demonstrate a 15% reduction in equal error rate (EER) compared to non-finetuned baselines and an 83% decrease in training time relative to full fine-tuning, using the same training dataset. This approach provides a scalable and efficient solution for open-set RFF authentication in dynamic wireless vehicular networks.
