Automatic modulation classification (AMC) is an essential factor in dynamic spectrum access to fulfill the spectrum demand of 5G wireless communications for achieving high data rate and low latency. Many deep learning (DL)-based AMC methods have achieved improved accuracy performance for classifying analog modulation schemes, single-carrier-based modulation schemes, and multi-carrier signals using several DL architectures such as the convolutional neural network (CNN) and long-short term memory (LSTM). However, most conventional DL-based AMC methods have confused the orthogonal frequency multiplexing division (OFDM)-based signals with different OFDM useful symbol lengths. To resolve the issue, we propose a CNN model operating on the fast Fourier transformation window banks (FWB) to extract the useful symbol length in OFDM, which represent the identification of each OFDMbased wireless communication technology. After extracting the OFDM useful symbol length, we propose a DL-based AMC system combined with FWB and in-phase and quadrature phase (IQ) signals to classify the OFDM symbol length and single-carrier modulation schemes simultaneously. Furthermore, we explore the constraints of the FWB parameters according to the length and the FFT size of the OFDM signal to achieve good classification accuracy through the experiment. We constructed a dataset by generating OFDM signals of different lengths while changing the FFT size in a fixed bandwidth and by selecting only quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) schemes from RadioML2016.10a. Experimental results show the improved performance of the classification accuracy by about 30% over conventional classifiers in additive white Gaussian noise, synchronization impairments, and fading environments.

Blind modulation classification (MC) is an integral part of designing an adaptive or intelligent transceiver for future wireless communications. Blind MC has several applications in the adaptive and automated systems of sixth generation (6G) communications to improve spectral efficiency and power efficiency, and reduce latency. It will become a integral part of intelligent software-defined radios (SDR) for future communication. In this paper, we provide various MC techniques for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals in a systematic way. We focus on the most widely used statistical and machine learning (ML) models and emphasize their advantages and limitations. The statistical-based blind MC includes likelihood-based (LB), maximum a posteriori (MAP) and feature-based methods (FB). The ML-based automated MC includes k-nearest neighbors (KNN), support vector machine (SVM), decision trees (DTs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and long short-term memory (LSTM) based MC methods. This survey will help the reader to understand the main characteristics of each technique, their advantages and disadvantages. We have also simulated some primary methods, i.e., statistical- and ML-based algorithms, under various constraints, which allows a fair comparison among different methodologies. The overall system performance in terms bit error rate (BER) in the presence of MC is also provided. We also provide a survey of some practical experiment works carried out through National Instrument hardware over an indoor propagation environment. In the end, open problems and possible directions for blind MC research are briefly discussed.
