ConvLSTMAE: A Spatiotemporal Parallel Autoencoders for Automatic Modulation Classification
Yunhao Shi, Hua Xu, Lei Jiang, Zisen Qi · IEEE Communications Letters · 2022
Automatic modulation classification (AMC) is the key technique in both military and civilian wireless communication. However, the performance is unsatisfactory, even several deep learning-based methods are involved. Targeting its low accuracy at low SNR, high computational cost and label overdependence, we propose a novel AMC framework, where the autoencoder (AE) serves as the backbone and Convolution-AE and LSTM-AE are combined in a parallel way as temporal and spatial feature extractors. The comparisons with serval algorithms on the radioML2016.10a show that our proposed network can achieve higher classification accuracy at low SNR with a low cost. In addition, it suits the semi-supervised scenario since the dependence on labels is loosen.
