Abstract

The focus of most research nowadays in the field of communication technology is on increasing bandwidth in wireless connectivity. Adaptive modulation can be used to enhance efficiency of communication systems. Adaptive modulation requires modulation format identification (MFI) at the receiver side to avoid the overhead required to determine the modulation type at the receiver. We present an MFI algorithm based on fan-beam projection to generate patterns from the constellation diagrams that are more discriminative. The constellation diagrams are obtained as images for eight different modulation formats (2/4/8/16 - PSK and 8/16/32/64 - QAM). Different classifiers such as AlexNet, VGG16, and VGG19 are studied and compared for the task of MFI. Evaluation of this proposed algorithm is performed by estimating the classification accuracy at different optical signal-to-noise ratios (OSNRs) ranging from 5 to 30 dB. The simulation results reveal that the proposed algorithm succeeds in identifying the wireless optical modulation format blindly with a classification accuracy up to 100% even at low OSNR values less than 8 dB compared with the related work.
