• Abstract summary: Blindly decoding a signal requires estimating its unknown transmit parameters, compensating for the wireless channel impairments, and identifying the modulation type. We propose the dual path network (DPN) that consists of a signal path of DSP operations that recover the signal, and a feature path of neural networks that estimate the unknown transmit parameters.

• Abstract: Blindly decoding a signal requires estimating its unknown transmit parameters, compensating for the wireless channel impairments, and identifying the modulation type. While deep learning can solve complex problems, digital signal processing (DSP) is interpretable and can be more computationally efficient. To combine both, we propose the dual path network (DPN). It consists of a signal path of DSP operations that recover the signal, and a feature path of neural networks that estimate the unknown transmit parameters. By interconnecting the paths over several recovery stages, later stages benefit from the recovered signals and reuse all the previously extracted features. The proposed design is demonstrated to provide 5% improvement in modulation classification compared to alternative designs lacking either feature sharing or access to recovered signals. The estimation results of DPN along with its blind decoding performance are shown to outperform a blind signal processing algorithm for BPSK and QPSK on a simulated dataset. An over-the-air software-defined-radio capture was used to verify DPN results at high SNRs. DPN design can process variable length inputs and is shown to outperform relying on fixed length inputs with prediction averaging on longer signals by up to 15% in modulation classification.

  We present a fully convolutional neural architecture, called DTP-Net, which consists of a Densely Connected Temporal Pyramid (DTP) sandwiched between a pair of learnable time-frequency transformations. EEG signals are easily corrupted by various artifacts, making artifact removal crucial for improving signal quality in scenarios such as disease diagnosis and brain-computer interface (BCI) Extensive experiments conducted on two public semi-simulated datasets demonstrate the effective artifact removal performance of DTP-Net.

  The proposed method first pre-processes the received signal by using a zero-forcing (ZF) detector and then uses a neural network consisting of a convolutional neural network (CNN) followed by a fully-connected neural network (FCNN) The FCNN part uses only two fully-connected layers, which can be adapted to yield a trade-off between complexity and bit error rate (BER) performance. It has been demonstrated that the proposed deep convolutional neural network-based detection and demodulation scheme provides better BER performance compared to ZF detector with a reasonable complexity increase.

  This paper proposes a model-driven deep learning (MDDL)-based channel estimation and feedback scheme for millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems. To reduce the uplink pilot overhead for estimating the high-dimensional channels from a limited number of radio frequency (RF) chains, we propose to jointly train the phase shift network and the channel estimator as an auto-encoder. Numerical results show that the proposed MDDL-based channel estimation and feedback scheme outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches.
