A Multiscale CNN Framework for Wireless Technique Classification in Internet of Things

Abstract

Wireless technique classification (WTC) is of crucial importance in Internet of Things for realizing efficient spectrum sharing and interference management. However, the existing deep-learning-based methods have low classification accuracy, especially at low signal-to-noise ratio levels. In this article, a multiscale convolutional neural network framework is proposed for WTC. A multiscale module is exploited to capture the higher abstraction features. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed scheme can achieve a better classification performance and a higher convergence speed compared to the state-of-the-art schemes.
