Convolutional Neural Networks for Space-Time Block Coding Recognition (1910.09952v2)

Abstract: We apply the latest advances in machine learning with deep neural networks to the tasks of radio modulation recognition, channel coding recognition, and spectrum monitoring. This paper first proposes an identification algorithm for space-time block coding of a signal. The feature between spatial multiplexing and Alamouti signals is extracted by adapting convolutional neural networks after preprocessing the received sequence. Unlike other algorithms, this method requires no prior information of channel coefficients and noise power, and consequently is well-suited for noncooperative contexts. Results show that the proposed algorithm performs well even at a low signal-to-noise ratio
