The MPSK signals with unknown signal noise ratios （SNRs） are modeled as a Gaussian mixture model with unknown means and covariances in the constellation plane, and a clustering method is proposed to estimate the probability density of the MPSK signals. The method is based on the nonparametric Bayesian inference, which introduces the Dirichlet process as the prior probability of the mixture coefficient, and applies a normal inverse Wishart （NIW） distribution as the prior probability of the unknown mean and covariance. Then, according to the received signals, the parameters are adjusted by the Monte Carlo Markov chain （MCMC） random sampling algorithm. By iterations, the density estimation of the MPSK signals can be estimated. Simulation results show that the correct recognition ratio of 2/4/8PSK is greater than 95% under the condition that SNR 〉5 dB and 1 600 symbols are used in this method.展开更多

On the other hand, the denoising properties of the wavelet transform make WT an efficient signal processing tool in noisy environments. A novel technique for the classification of multi-user chirp modulation signals is presented in this paper. A combination of the higher order moments and cumulants of the wavelet coefficients as well as the peaks of the bispectrum and its bi-frequencies are proposed as effective features. Different types of artificial intelligence based classifiers and clustering techniques are used to identify the chirp signals of the different users. In particular, neural networks (NN), maximum likelihood (ML), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVMs) classifiers as well as fuzzy c-means (FCM) and fuzzy k-means (FKM) clustering techniques are tested. The Simulation results show that the proposed technique is able to efficiently classify the different chirp signals in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels with high accuracy. It is shown that the NN classifier outperforms other classifiers. Also, the simulations prove that the classification based on features extracted from wavelet transform results in more accurate results than that using features directly extracted from the chirp signals, especially at low values of signal-to-noise ratios.展开更多

文摘To promote reliable and secure communications in the cognitive radio network,the automatic modulation classification algorithms have been mainly proposed to estimate a single modulation.In this paper,we address the classification of superimposed modulations dedicated to 5G multipleinput multiple-output(MIMO)two-way cognitive relay network in realistic channels modeled with Nakagami-m distribution.Our purpose consists of classifying pairs of users modulations from superimposed signals.To achieve this goal,we apply the higher-order statistics in conjunction with the Multi-BoostAB classifier.We use several efficiency metrics including the true positive(TP)rate,false positive(FP)rate,precision,recall,F-Measure and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)area in order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm in terms of correct superimposed modulations classification.Computer simulations prove that our proposal allows obtaining a good probability of classification for ten superimposed modulations at a low signal-to-noise ratio,including the worst case(i.e.,m=0.5),where the fading distribution follows a one-sided Gaussian distribution.We also carry out a comparative study between our proposal usingMultiBoostAB classifier with the decision tree(J48)classifier.Simulation results show that the performance of MultiBoostAB on the superimposed modulations classifications outperforms the one of J48 classifier.In addition,we study the impact of the symbols number,path loss exponent and relay position on the performance of the proposed automatic classification superimposed modulations in terms of probability of correct classification.
文摘Considering that real communication signals corrupted by noise are generally nonstationary, and timefrequency distributions are especially suitable for the analysis of nonstationary signals, time-frequency distributions are introduced for the modulation classification of communication signals： The extracted time-frequency features have good classification information, and they are insensitive to signal to noise ratio （SNR） variation. According to good classification by the correct rate of a neural network classifier, a multilayer perceptron （MLP） classifier with better generalization, as well as, addition of time-frequency features set for classifying six different modulation types has been proposed. Computer simulations show that the MLP classifier outperforms the decision-theoretic classifier at low SNRs, and the classification experiments for real MPSK signals verify engineering significance of the MLP classifier.
文摘The aim of modulation classification （MC） is to identify the modulation type of a commtmication signal. It plays an important role in many cooperative or noncooperative communication applications. Three spectrogram-based modulation classification methods are proposed. Their recognition scope and performance are investigated or evaluated by theoretical analysis and extensive simulation studies. The method taking moment-like features is robust to frequency offset while the other two, which make use of principal component analysis （PCA） with different transformation inputs, can achieve satisfactory accuracy even at low SNR （as low as 2 dB）. Due to the properties of spectrogram, the statistical pattern recognition techniques, and the image preprocessing steps, all of our methods are insensitive to unknown phase and frequency offsets, timing errors, and the arriving sequence of symbols.
文摘A new method suited for hardware implementation is developed to classify 8 different digital modulation types with raised cosine base-band impulse without knowing the carrier frequency and symbol timing. The normalized histogram of stagnation points for instantaneous parameters is used to recognize both ideal rectangular and raised cosine base-band digital signals. Carrier frequency estimation is used to enhance the recognition rate of phase-modulated signals. In the condition of 10 dB signal noise ratio （SNR）, the recognizing rate is over 80% . The new algorithm is suited for hardware implementation.
文摘Higher order statistical features have been recently proved to be very efficient in the classification of wideband communications and radar signals with great accuracy. On the other hand, the denoising properties of the wavelet transform make WT an efficient signal processing tool in noisy environments. A novel technique for the classification of multi-user chirp modulation signals is presented in this paper. A combination of the higher order moments and cumulants of the wavelet coefficients as well as the peaks of the bispectrum and its bi-frequencies are proposed as effective features. Different types of artificial intelligence based classifiers and clustering techniques are used to identify the chirp signals of the different users. In particular, neural networks (NN), maximum likelihood (ML), k-nearest neighbor (KNN) and support vector machine (SVMs) classifiers as well as fuzzy c-means (FCM) and fuzzy k-means (FKM) clustering techniques are tested. The Simulation results show that the proposed technique is able to efficiently classify the different chirp signals in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels with high accuracy. It is shown that the NN classifier outperforms other classifiers. Also, the simulations prove that the classification based on features extracted from wavelet transform results in more accurate results than that using features directly extracted from the chirp signals, especially at low values of signal-to-noise ratios.
文摘In view of low recognition rate of complex radar intra-pulse modulation signal type by traditional methods under low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),the paper proposes an automatic recog-nition method of complex radar intra-pulse modulation signal type based on deep residual network.The basic principle of the recognition method is to obtain the transformation relationship between the time and frequency of complex radar intra-pulse modulation signal through short-time Fourier transform(STFT),and then design an appropriate deep residual network to extract the features of the time-frequency map and complete a variety of complex intra-pulse modulation signal type recognition.In addition,in order to improve the generalization ability of the proposed method,label smoothing and L2 regularization are introduced.The simulation results show that the proposed method has a recognition accuracy of more than 95%for complex radar intra-pulse modulation sig-nal types under low SNR(2 dB).
