Abstract

High-speed wireless communication is necessary in our personal lives, in both working and living spaces. This paper presents a scheme for wireless optical modulation format recognition (MFR) based on the Hough transform (HT). The HT is used to project constellation diagrams onto another space for efficient feature extraction. Constellation diagrams are obtained at optical signal-to-noise ratios (OSNR) ranging from 5 to 30 dB for eight different modulation formats (2/4/8/16 phase-shift keying and 8/16/32/64 QAM). Different classifiers are used for the task of MFR: AlexNet, VGG16, and VGG19. A study of the effect of varying the number of samples on the accuracy of the classifiers is provided for each modulation format. To evaluate the proposed scheme, the efficiency of the three classifiers is studied at different values of OSNR. The obtained results reveal that the proposed scheme succeeds in identifying the wireless optical modulation format blindly with a classification accuracy up to 100%, even at low OSNR values less than 10 dB.
