Abstract
Signal identification represents the task of a receiver to identify the signal type and its parameters, with applications to both military and commercial communications. In this paper, we investigate the identification of spatial multiplexing (SM) and Alamouti (AL) space-time block code (STBC) with single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) signals, when the receiver is equipped with a single antenna. We develop a discriminating feature based on a fourth-order statistic of the received signal, as well as a constant false alarm rate decision criterion which relies on the statistical properties of the feature estimate. Furthermore, we present the theoretical performance analysis of the proposed identification algorithm. The algorithm does not require channel or noise power estimation, modulation classification, and block synchronization. Simulation results show the validity of the proposed algorithm, as well as a very good agreement with the theoretical analysis.
