Overview
Next generation wireless systems need to operate in harsh environments, where various types of interference increase the system level challenges. Wireless receivers have numerous applications in systems that require efficient spectrum management. In this session, we will demonstrate how to apply techniques Deep Learning and Machine Learning networks for a range of wireless communications systems.
We will look at the trade-offs between machine learning and deep learning workflows. We will also demonstrate ways to perform data collection and labeling from off-the-shelf software-defined radios and radars to train and test classifiers. Our focus will be on data synthesis to train networks including efficient ways to work with communications baseband I/Q signals to improve classification results.
Highlights
Demonstrate the concepts and workflows using several application examples including waveform modulation ID, RF Fingerprinting, and 5G channel estimation
