Higher-order cyclic cumulants (CCs) have been widely adopted for automatic modulation recognition (AMR) in cognitive radio. However, the CC-based AMR suffers greatly from the requirement of high-rate sampling. To overcome this limit, we resort to the theory of compressive sensing (CS). By exploiting the sparsity of CCs, recognition features can be extracted from a small amount of compressive measurements via a rough CS reconstruction algorithm. Accordingly, a CS-based AMR scheme is formulated. Simulation results demonstrate the availability and robustness of the proposed approach.

Self-location plays a crucial role in a framework of autonomous navigation, especially in a GNSS/radio-denied environment. At the current time, self-location for artificial agents still has to resort to the visual and laser technologies in the framework of deep neural networks, which cannot model the environments effectively, especially in some dynamic and complex scenes. Instead, researchers have attempted to transplant the navigation principle of mammals into artificial intelligence (AI) fields. As a kind of mammalian neuron, the grid cells are believed to provide a context-independent spatial metric and update the representation of self-location. By exploiting the mechanism of grid cells, we adopt the oscillatory interference model for location encoding. Furthermore, in the process of location decoding, the capacity of autonomous navigation is extended to a significantly wide range without the phase ambiguity, based on a multi-scale periodic representation mechanism supported by a step-wise phase unwrapping algorithm. Compared with the previous methods, the proposed grid-like self-location can achieve a much wider spatial range without the limitation imposed by the spatial scales of grid cells. It is also able to suppress the phase noise efficiently. The proposed method is validated by simulation results.
