Cooperative modulation classification by using multiple sensors in dispersive fading channels

The cooperative operation of multiple sensors, due to redundant radio signal reception, allows considerable gain in AMC performance. We here present an overview of the cooperative AMC solutions with centralized fusion, and also some results of their comprehensive analysis conducted under realistic application conditions for dispersive fading channels. Although the latest studies indicated that potential gains reported in the idealized application conditions are not feasible in practice, i.e. the real-world application, we here demonstrate that these promised gains are partly achieved with the suitable channel estimation and fusion methods.
