Summary: Automatic modulation classification (AMC) is crucial in intelligent wireless communication. This paper proposes a lightweight neural network-based AMC framework, which combines complex convolution with residual networks for improved classification performance. Depthwise separable convolution is used for a lightweight design, and a hybrid data augmentation scheme is introduced to compensate for any performance loss. Simulation results demonstrate that this framework reduces the number of parameters by approximately 83.34% and the FLOPs by approximately 83.77% without degrading performance.

Summary: Automatic modulation classification (AMC) plays a vital role in identifying the modulation type of a received signal for ensuring the physical-layer security of IoT networks. This article focuses on reproducing and evaluating popular AMC algorithms using the in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) and amplitude/phase (A/P) representations for comparison. Based on the experimental results, it is found that CNN-RNN-like algorithms using A/P as input data perform better at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), while the opposite is true at low SNR. Inspired by these findings, a multitask learning-based deep neural network (MLDNN) is proposed, which effectively fuses I/Q and A/P. Extensive simulations demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed MLDNN in a public benchmark.

Summary: Automatic modulation classification (AMC) is a classification problem in wireless communication systems that aims to determine the modulation type of a received signal. Deep learning (DL) methods have been widely used for AMC due to their ability to automatically learn features without technical expertise. This research proposed a DL algorithm inspired by residual learning, which showed high accuracy and strong representation ability. A squeeze-and-excitation network was also employed to improve performance by exploiting interconnections between channels and recalibrating feature responses. The proposed model achieved better accuracy than existing methods and significantly reduced the number of parameters compared to convolutional neural network designs.
