Abstract

In this study, we have presented that Higher Order Cummulants (HOC) based modulation recognition scheme for Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM), Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) and Phase Shift Keying (PSK) modulated signals having orders of 2 to 64. Modulation recognition is a process to recognize the signal modulation type which is received by the receiver in the presence of channel noise. The HOC based MR is accomplished in two modules. First is feature extraction using higher order cummulants. These features are distinct for different modulated signals. Second is recognition process which gives decision based upon the features extracted from higher order cummulants. The Probability of Correctness (POC) curves shows the recognition accuracy for sample size and number of iterations. The Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) is considered throughout the simulations.
