Abstract:

Modulation recognition is a key component in the fields of cognitive radio, electronic warfare, and other related areas. It is also an important prerequisite for efficient signal processing in receivers. Due to the unique advantages of deep learning, such as autonomous analysis, automatic feature extraction, and nonlinear fitting, which traditional methods cannot match, it has great potential in modulation recognition. However, deep learning models are vulnerable to adversarial attacks, which seriously affect the task of modulation recognition. Although adversarial sample attacks have been widely studied in the fields of computer vision and natural language processing, research results in the field of modulation recognition are relatively scattered. This article introduced the modulation recognition technology based on deep learning, established the problem model of modulation recognition, and elaborated on the application status of common neural networks in modulation recognition, as well as listed and compared commonly used datasets and simulation results of modulation recognition. By reviewing attack types, adversarial sample generation, and defense strategies, we summarized the latest research results, established a classification system for different types of attacks and defence, and discussed the future prospects of adversarial samples in wireless communication.
