Abstract: | This paper investigates a vital issue in wireless communication systems, which is the modulation classification. A proposed framework for modulation classification based on deep learning (DL) is presented in the presence of adjacent channel interference (ACI). This framework begins with the generation of constellation diagrams from the received data. These constellation diagrams are fed to convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for modulation classification. The objective of this process is to eliminate the manual feature extraction from the received data and make feature extraction process as a built‐in step with CNNs. Three types of CNNs are considered in this paper and compared for this objective. These types are AlexNet, VGG‐16, and VGG‐19. The proposed classifier is applied on Rayliegh and Rician fading channels. |
