1-Objectives
4-Proposed Eingenfilter-based AMC with offsets
To propose na automatic modulation classification (AMC) with offsets;
Incorporate the proposed approach to Distributed Antenna Systems by applying the eingenfilter.
- The proposed scheme is composed of three main steps:
Step 1) the eingenfilter is applied to obtein the estimated signal.
where is the eigenvector of the sample covariance matrix of corresponding to the greatest eigenvalue. By applying the eigenfilter, the SNR is maximized.
Step 2) we extract the features given by the cumulants of the input signal
where:
and are insentitive to offsets and, therefore, are traditionally used to offset detection. However, in order to take into account the other cumulants, we propose the trainning of the neural network by varying both offsets and modulation schemes.
Step 3) The proposed trained Artificial Neural Network (ANN) returns the modulation.
2-Introduction
In military applications, AMC can be applied to recover messages from intercepted signals.
In civilian applications, AMC can be applied for cognitive radios that opportunistically exploits the idle spectrum and that can be included in 5G systems.
Distributed antenna systems: improved signal detection, demodulation and recovery
5-Simulation results
Four types of modulations: BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK and 16QAM
For each modulation: signals with 1024 samples
Proposed scheme with seven cumulants (7C) due to the proposed ANN trainning
Eigenfilter wth four antennas
3-Data Model
-The received signal can be modeled as:
where:
: : channel vector with amplitudes and phases offsests of the transmitted signals;
: the transmitted symbols
: the additive white Gaussian noise vector
