Automatic modulation classification is a critical algorithm for non-cooperative communication systems. This paper addresses the challenging problem of closed-set and open-set signal modulation classification in complex channels. We propose a novel approach that incorporates a self-learning filter and center-loss in Deep Residual Shrinking Networks (DRSN) for closed-set modulation classification, and the Opendistance method for open-set modulation classification. Our approach achieves better performance than existing methods in both closed-set and open-set recognition. In closed-set recognition, the self-learning filter and center-loss combination improves recognition performance, with a maximum accuracy of over 92.18%. In open-set recognition, the use of a self-learning filter and center-loss provide an effective feature vector for open-set recognition, and the Opendistance method outperforms SoftMax and OpenMax in F1 scores and mean average accuracy under high openness. Overall, our proposed approach demonstrates promising results for automatic modulation classification, providing better performance in non-cooperative communication systems.

In this paper, performance of a maximum-likelihood modulation classification for quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is studied. Unlike previous works, the relative classification performance with respect to the available modulations and performance limit with single-sample observation are presented. For those purposes, all constellations are set to have the same minimum Euclidean distance between symbols so that a smaller constellation is a subset of the larger ones. And only one sample of received waveform is used for multiple hypothesis test. As a result, classification performance is improved with increase in signal-to-noise ratio in all the experiments. Especially, when the true modulation format used in the transmitter is 4 QAM, almost perfect classification can be achieved without any additional information or observation samples. Though the possibility of false classification due to the symbols shared by subset constellations always exists, correct classification ratio of $80{\%}$ can be obtained with the single-sample observation when the true modulation formats are 16 and 64 QAM.

This paper is focused on the modulation scheme detection of the IEEE 802.11 standard. In the IEEE 802.11ac standard, the information of the modulation scheme is indicated by the modulation coding scheme (MCS) included in the VHT-SIG-A of the preamble field. Transmitting end determines the MCS index suitable for the low signal to noise ratio (SNR) situation and transmits the data accordingly. Since data field decoding can take place only when the receiving end acquires the MCS index information of the frame. Therefore, accurate MCS detection must be guaranteed before data field decoding. However, since the MCS index information is the information obtained through preamble field decoding, the detection rate can be affected significantly in a low SNR situation. In this paper, we propose a relatively robust modulation classification method based on deep learning to solve the low detection rate problem with a conventional method caused by a low SNR.

In this paper, we conduct performance analysis in automatic modulation classification of unknown communication signal to identify its modulation types based on deep neural network. The modulation classification performance was verified using time domain digital sample data of the modulated signal, frequency domain data to which FFT was applied, and time and frequency domain mixed data as neural network input data. For 11 types of analog and digitally modulated signals, the modulation classification performance was verified in various SNR environments ranging from -20 to 18 dB and reason for false classification was analyzed. In addition, by checking the learning speed according to the type of input data for neural network, proposed method is effective for constructing an practical automatic modulation recognition system that require a lot of time to learn.

In this paper, we deal with modulation classification method using WT capable of classifying incident digital signals without a priori information. These key features should have good properties of sensitive with modulation types and insensitive with SNR variation. The 4 key features for modulation recognition are selected using WT coefficients, which have the property of insentive to the changing of noise. The numerical simulations for classifying 8 digital modulation types using these features are peformed. The numerical simulations of the 3 types (i.e. DTC, MDC, and SVMC) of modulation classifiers are performed the investigation of classification accuracy and execution time to design the modulation classification module in software radio. The simulation result indicated that the execution time of MDC and DTC was best and MDC and SVMC showed good classification performance.

This paper discusses the fast modulation classifiers capable of classifying both analog and digital modulation signals in wireless communications applications. A total of 7 statistical signal features are extracted and used to classify 9 modulated signals. In this paper, we investigate the performance of the two types of fast modulation classifiers (i.e. 2 nearest neighbor classifiers and 2 minimum distance classifiers) and compare the performance of these classifiers with that of the state of the art for the existing classification methods such as SVM Classifier. Computer simulations indicate good performance on an AWGN channel, even at low signal-to-noise ratios, in case of minimum distance classifiers (MDC for short) and k nearest neighbor classifiers (kNNC for short). Besides a good performance, these type classifiers are considered as ideal candidate to adapt real-time software radio because of their fast modulation classification capability.

Classification and analysis are improved factors for the realtime automation system. In the field of agriculture, the cultivation of different paddy crop depends on the atmosphere and the soil nature. We need to analyze the moisture level in the area to predict the type of paddy that can be cultivated. For this process, Ensemble Modulation Pattern system and Block Probability Neural Network based classification models are used to analyze the moisture and temperature of land area. The dataset consists of the collections of moisture and temperature at various data samples for a land. The Ensemble Modulation Pattern based feature analysis method, the extract of the moisture and temperature in various day patterns are analyzed and framed as the pattern for given dataset. Then from that, an improved neural network architecture based on the block probability analysis are used to classify the data pattern to predict the class of paddy crop according to the features of dataset. From that classification result, the measurement of data represents the type of paddy according to the weather condition and other features. This type of classification model assists where to plant the crop and also prevents the damage to crop due to the excess of water or excess of temperature. The result analysis presents the comparison result of proposed work with the other state-of-art methods of data classification.

In this paper, we propose the heuristic signal grouping algorithm to estimate channel state value over full blind communication situation which means that there is no information about the modulation scheme and the channel state information between the transmitter and the receiver. Hereafter, using the constellation rotation method and the probability density function(pdf) the modulation scheme is determined to perform automatic modulation classification(AMC). Furthermore, the modulation type and a channel state value estimation capability is evaluated by comparing the proposed scheme with other conventional techniques from the simulation results in terms of the symbol error rate(SER) and the root mean square error (RMSE).

Automatic modulation classification is essential in radar emitter identification. We propose a cascade classifier by combining a support vector machine (SVM) and convolutional neural network (CNN), considering that noise might be taken as radar signals. First, the SVM distinguishes noise signals by the main ridge slice feature of signals. Second, the complex envelope features of the predicted radar signals are extracted and placed into a designed CNN, where a modulation classification task is performed. Simulation results show that the SVM-CNN can effectively distinguish radar signals from noise. The overall probability of successful recognition (PSR) of modulation is 98.52% at 20 dB and 82.27% at -2 dB with low computation costs. Furthermore, we found that the accuracy of intermediate frequency estimation significantly affects the PSR. This study shows the possibility of training a classifier using complex envelope features. What the proposed CNN has learned can be interpreted as an equivalent matched filter consisting of a series of small filters that can provide different responses determined by envelope features.

Automatic modulation classification(AMC) is a core technique in Software Defined Radio(SDR) platform that enables smart and flexible spectrum sensing and access in a wide frequency band. In this study, we propose a simple yet accurate deep learning-based method that allows AMC for variable-size radio signals. To this end, we design a classification architecture consisting of two Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)-based models, namely main and small models, which were trained on radio signal datasets with two different signal sizes, respectively. Then, for a received signal input with an arbitrary length, modulation classification is performed by augmenting the input samples using a self-replicating padding technique to fit the input layer size of our model. Experiments using the RadioML 2018.01A dataset demonstrated that the proposed method provides higher accuracy than the existing methods in all signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) domains with less computation overhead.
