Intelligent signal classification based on fractional graph feature fusion for MIMO systems

With the rapid growth in electromagnetic device quantities, various forms of communication interference have emerged, significantly impacting the accuracy of signal classification. Existing classification algorithms mainly focus on unintentional interference, such as co-channel interference and noise, with limited research on the problem of malicious interference in Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) signal classification. This study proposes an intelligent MIMO signal classification algorithm based on fractional graph feature fusion. Initially, a high-order cumulant tensor model is constructed and regularized tensor decomposition is applied to reconstruct the MIMO signals. Subsequently, a feature extraction model using a fractional wavelet scattering network is designed to effectively capture the distinguishing features of signal constellations. Finally, a collaborative representation classifier based on the Grassmann manifold is utilized to amplify the differences between modulation categories, thereby improving classification performance. Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm effectively suppresses common communication interference and successfully classifies MIMO signals. Compared to existing methods, the proposed approach demonstrates significant performance improvements without requiring prior knowledge, such as noise power or channel coefficients.
