Data-Driven Deep Learning for Automatic Modulation Recognition in Cognitive Radios

Automatic modulation recognition (AMR) is an essential and challenging topic in the development of the cognitive radio (CR), and it is a cornerstone of CR adaptive modulation and demodulation capabilities to sense and learn environments and make corresponding adjustments. AMR is essentially a classification problem, and deep learning achieves outstanding performances in various classification tasks. So, this paper proposes a deep learning-based method, combined with two convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained on different datasets, to achieve higher accuracy AMR. A CNN is trained on samples composed of in-phase and quadrature component signals, otherwise known as in-phase and quadrature samples, to…
