Automatic modulation classification method using fixed K-means algorithm for feature clustering processing

The role played by communication technology in daily life is gradually increasing. However, there are problems such as complex types of signals, huge amount of data and noise interference, and the recognition accuracy of existing modulation classification methods is low. Therefore, the study proposes a signal automatic modulation classification model based on fixed K-mean algorithm and denoising autoencoder. The model uses fixed K-mean algorithm for feature classification and optimizes median filtering algorithm using dynamic thresholding. The classifier is used to improve the recognition accuracy of specific signals, and long short-term memory and data random corruption denoising are used to optimize the autoencoder. The experiments indicated that the signal classification accuracy of the model were 17.6% and 16.8% higher than the other two models, respectively. The computational complexity of the improved model decreased dramatically, but the average classification accuracy was only 1.6% lower than that before the improvement. The communication overhead and training efficiency were better than the other models, and the number of parameters of the model was 1/2 of that of the pre-improvement model. The memory occupancy and running time were reduced by 335KB and 33ms, respectively. Compared to the other two models, the model's average classification accuracy at a signal-to-noise ratio of 0 was 18.4% and 19.7% higher, respectively. As a result, the improved model effectively increases signal recognition accuracy, enhances model robustness, and significantly reduces computational complexity while ensuring real-time signal processing for communication computing.

Abstract

The role played by communication technology in daily life is gradually increasing. However, there are problems such as complex types of signals, huge amount of data and noise interference, and the recognition accuracy of existing modulation classification methods is low. Therefore, the study proposes a signal automatic modulation classification model based on fixed K-mean algorithm and denoising autoencoder. The model uses fixed K-mean algorithm for feature classification and optimizes median filtering algorithm using dynamic thresholding. The classifier is used to improve the recognition accuracy of specific signals, and long short-term memory and data random corruption denoising are used to optimize the autoencoder. The experiments indicated that the signal classification accuracy of the model were 17.6% and 16.8% higher than the other two models, respectively. The computational complexity of the improved model decreased dramatically, but the average classification accuracy was only 1.6% lower than that before the improvement. The communication overhead and training efficiency were better than the other models, and the number of parameters of the model was 1/2 of that of the pre-improvement model. The memory occupancy and running time were reduced by 335KB and 33ms, respectively. Compared to the other two models, the model's average classification accuracy at a signal-to-noise ratio of 0 was 18.4% and 19.7% higher, respectively. As a result, the improved model effectively increases signal recognition accuracy, enhances model robustness, and significantly reduces computational complexity while ensuring real-time signal processing for communication computing.
