Abstract

Automated Modulation Classification (AMC) has been applied in various emerging areas such as cognitive radio (CR). We also notice that Deep Learning (DL) is a powerful classification tool that has gained great popularity in various field. This article focuses on DL and aims at using it to solve communications problems. We propose a new data conversion algorithm in order to gain a better classification accuracy of communication signal modulation. This paper will show that our new method will bring significant improvement in signal modulation classification accuracy. Besides, AlexNet and GoogLeNet, two well-known DL network models, ResNet and VGG, will be utilized in this task to compare with each other.
