Abstract-Non-cooperative identification of unknown communication signals is a popular research area with widespread civilian and military applications. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems employing multi-antenna transmission pose new challenges to the signal identification systems, such as the classification of the employed space time block code (STBC) and the modulation in presence of the self-interference inherent to the multi-antenna transmission. In the existing literature, these two classification problems have been handled separately, despite the fact that they are interrelated. This work presents a novel approach to MIMO signal identification by considering the modulation type and the STBC classification tasks as a joint classification problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
