An Uncertainty-Driven Hybrid Deep Learning Approach for Broad-Coverage RF Modulation Recognition

arXiv:2608. 00796v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic RF modulation recognition is of critical importance in spectrum monitoring, electronic warfare, and cognitive radio applications, where low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions and the growing diversity of modulation schemes limit the performance of existing methods.

Wireless Foundation Models: State-of-the-Art and Open Challenges

The paper surveys wireless foundation models (WFMs), highlighting their role in learning reusable representations from large-scale wireless data for physical-layer tasks. It systematically reviews WFM design components—pretraining, backbone architectures, and downstream adaptation—and categorizes the literature into five task families: signal recognition and demodulation, channel representation learning, RF sensing and localization, beam management, and spectrum sensing and monitoring, including multi-task models. The analysis reveals that while WFMs show promise, evidence of transferability varies across tasks and evaluation settings, and differences in datasets, modalities, architectures, and distribution shifts hinder clear conclusions about effective design choices.

A Deep Generative Model for Synthesizing Labeled Wireless Signals

The paper introduces Inter-Instance Generative Adversarial Networks (IIns‑GAN), a deep learning approach for synthesizing realistic labeled wireless signals. Unlike traditional environmental‑model based methods, IIns‑GAN adapts to various scenarios and produces signals that closely match the physical characteristics of real measurements. Experiments on public Ultra‑Wideband datasets show that the generated signals improve model training for tasks such as distance estimation and environment identification.
