Abstract
In this paper, a novel deep learning-based robust automatic modulation classification (AMC) method is proposed for cognitive radio networks. Generally, as network input of AMC convolutional neural networks (CNNs) images or complex signals are utilized in time domain or frequency domain. In terms of the image that contains RGB(Red, Green, Blue) levels the input size may be larger than the complex signal, which represents the increase of computational complexity. In terms of the complex signal it is normally used as $2 \times N$ size for the input, which is divided into in-phase and quadrature-phase (IQ) components. In this paper, the input size is extended as $4 \times N$ size by copying IQ components and concatenating in reverse order to improve the classification accuracy. Since the increase in the amount of computation complexity due to the extended input size, the proposed CNN archiecture is designed to reduce the size from $4 \times N$ to $2 \times N$ by an average pooling layer, which can enhence the classification accuracy as well. The simulation results show that the classification accuracy of the proposed model is higher than the conventional models in the almost signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) range.

Can you try to find out whether the network has a better recognition effect on signals of a certain modulation mode, so as to facilitate the development of targeted practical applications.
