Abstract

This paper proposes a method based on kernel density estimation (KDE) and expectation condition maximization (ECM) to realize digital modulation recognition over fading channels with non-Gaussian noise in the cognitive radio networks. A compound hypothesis test model is adopt here. The KDE method is used to estimate the probability density function of non-Gaussian noise, and the improved ECM algorithm is used to estimate the fading channel parameters. Numerical results show that the proposed method is robust to the noise type over fading channels. Moreover, when the GSNR is 10 dB, the correct recognition rate for the digital modulation recognition under non-Gaussian noise is more than 90%. Gaussian noise, and the improved ECM algorithm is used to estimate the fading channel parameters. Numerical results show that the proposed method is robust to the noise type over fading channels. Moreover, when the GSNR is 10 dB, the correct recognition rate for the digital modulation recognition under non-Gaussian noise is more than 90%.
