Cooperative modulation recognition based on one-dimensional convolutional neural network for MIMO-OSTBC signal by Zeliang AN, Tianqi ZHANG, Baoze MA, Pan DENG, Yuqing XU

“…To recognize the modulation style adopted in multiple-input-multiple-output orthogonal space-time block code (MIMO-OSTBC) systems, a cooperative modulation recognition algorithm based on the one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) was proposed.With the lossless I/Q signal selected as shallow features, the zero-forcing blind equalization was first leveraged to improve the discrimination of different modulation signals.Then the 1D-CNN recognition model was devised and trained to extract deep features from shallow ones.Later, two decision fusion strategies of voting-based and confidence-based were leveraged in the multiple-antenna receiver to improve recognition accuracy.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively recognize five modulation types {BPSK, 4PSK,8PSK,16QAM,4PAM}, with a 100% recognition accuracy when the signal-to-noise is equal or greater than-2 dB.…”

Preprocessing optimization algorithm based on partial channel information feedback in wideband OFDM systems by WANG Xia1, ZHANG Guo-mei1, XUE Tao2

“…To mitigate inter-block interference（IBI） and inter-carrier interference（ICI） in an orthogonal frequency divi-sion multiplexing（OFDM） system,pre-processing approaches at transmitters based on full channel state information（CSI） had been proposed,the performance improved and receiver simplied.However,feeding full CSI back would oc-cupy scarce bandwidth and was impractical sometimes for the systems with high real-time demand.To deal with this problem,a preprocessing optimization based on partial CSI feedback was investigated and three selected preprocessing approaches of optimization matrix were developed and tested.Computer simulation results showed that the proposed op-timization algorithm can effectively cancel IBI and ICI and significantly improve the performance in wideband OFDM systems.Compared with the pre-processing approaches at transmitters based on full CSI,under the condition of meeting the demand for quality of services（QoS）,the proposed scheme has high spectral efficiency and low feedback and com-putation complexity.…”
