Basis Vector Estimation Analysis for Identification of Block Orthogonal Modulations

Abstract

Cognitive radios are intelligent communications, and are expected to more efficiently utilize the radio channel. Modulation identification is one of the key issues in the cognitive radios. Many works were devoted to the classification of symbol-by-symbol modulations, however, few papers on block modulations have been published. In this paper, an identification error analysis is presented for block orthogonal modulations using General Orthogonal Modulation (GOM). A symbol error probability is derived for the identified block orthogonal modulation. Numerical results of 4-dimensional block orthogonal modulation are presented with simulation results.
