Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Recognition of the modulation scheme is the intermediate step between signal detection and demodulation of the received signal in communication networks. Automatic modulation recognition (AMR) plays a central role in many applications, especially in the military and security sectors. In general, several properties of the received signal are extracted and employed for AMR. Selecting the appropriate features has a significant impact on increasing the efficiency of AMR. In this paper, we implement and compare digital modulation recognition via multi-layer perceptrons (MLP), radial basis function (RBF), adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), decision tree (DT), and naive Bayes (NB) algorithms. In addition, the optimal parameters of each model are obtained by utilizing a genetic algorithm (GA). A series of studies are conducted in this work in order to determine the efficiency of different algorithms in identifying modulated signals with commonly used digital modulations. Numerous computer simulations are performed in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ranging from -10 dB to 30 dB. The simulation results and comparisons with previous studies demonstrate that applying the proposed algorithms along with the selected features leads to a significant enhancement in the accuracy and speed of the automatic determination of the digital modulation types at low SNRs. In addition, the convergence rates of the models are enhanced.
