Description
Summary:Seamless Internet of Things (IoT) connections expose many vulnerabilities in wireless networks, and IoT devices inevitably face many malicious active attacks. automatic modulation recognition (AMR) is an effective way to combat IoT physical layer threats. In the field of noncollaborative communication, feature representation learning for unlabeled signals is an important task of AMR. However, due to the unavailability of a priori knowledge and the influence of interference during signal transmission, the intercepted unlabeled signals are difficult to perform efficient feature representation. In this article, we propose cooperative contrast learning for unlabeled modulation signal Cooperative Contrast Learning for modulation Signals (CoCL-Sig). Specifically, the CoCL-Sig is trained using both sequence and constellation diagram modalities, and is divided into two parts: 1) modal-level feature representation and 2) instance-level auxiliary feature representation. In modal-level feature representation, two modal projections are matched in the same hyperplane space. To ensure the stability of the feature representation, a sequence auxiliary branch is added to form an instance-level feature representation of the sequence. In addition, the feature representations obtained by the CoCL-Sig can be applied to modulation signals for semi-supervised classification and clustering tasks. We have conducted extensive experiments on two widely used modulation signal data sets, RML2016.10A and RML2016.04C. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in modulation signal feature representation and its superiority compared to other methods.
