This research proposes a machine learning-based approach for detecting OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) modulations in realistic environments. Unlike previous works, this method does not assume ideal conditions or precise knowledge of subcarrier counts and cyclic prefix locations. Instead, it uses a ResNet network to simultaneously detect modulation types and accurately locate cyclic prefixes. The method involves eliminating environmental impacts from the signal, extracting OFDM symbols, converting them into scatter plots, and classifying these plots using the ResNet. This approach can be applied to any OFDM-based technology without prior knowledge of the transmitted signal. The authors evaluate their method’s performance across various modulation schemes and subcarrier numbers, achieving accuracy rates exceeding 80% at an SNR of 10 dB and 95% at an SNR of 25 dB.

This research is about using machine learning to detect signals sent in a special way called OFDM. Imagine you’re trying to figure out what kind of signal someone sent without knowing anything about it beforehand. That’s what this method does! It uses a special type of AI called ResNet to look at the signal and figure out what kind of modulation (or “signal pattern”) was used. This is important because OFDM signals are used in many technologies, like Wi-Fi and 4G cell phones. The researchers tested their method and found that it worked really well, even when the signal was weak or noisy.
