Implementation of DNN Based Data Detector for QPSK Systems

In this project, the Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) digital modulation scheme was implemented using Software Defined Radios (SDRs). For this system, a deep learning based detector was proposed and implemented alongside the conventional method. The implementation was successfully achieved for both the conventional and deep learning based data detection techniques, despite the challenges faced. The results show that the proposed deep learning method is able to outperform the conventional detector. The code of this project is made publicly accessible at https://github.com/ABadi13/QPSK_SDR_DNN_Detector.

Channel Estimation Based on Machine Learning Paradigm for Spatial Modulation OFDM

In this paper, deep neural network (DNN) is integrated with spatial modulation-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SM-OFDM) technique for end-to-end data detection over Rayleigh fading channel. This proposed system directly demodulates the received symbols, leaving the channel estimation done only implicitly. Furthermore, an ensemble network is also proposed for this system. Simulation results show that the proposed DNN detection scheme has a significant advantage over classical methods when the pilot overhead and cyclic prefix (CP) are reduced, owing to its ability to learn and adjust to complicated channel conditions. Finally, the ensemble network is shown to improve the generalization of the proposed scheme, while also showing a slight improvement in its performance.
