DKDNet: Dual Knowledge and Data-Driven Network for Cross-Domain Automatic Modulation Classification

arXiv:2607.08031v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The dynamics of communication environments induce significant distribution shifts across domains, challenging the generalization of deep learning-based automatic modulation classification (AMC) models. While existing UDA methods alleviate this problem by aligning source and target features, they give limited consideration to modulation-specific structures that remain informative across domain conditions. In this paper, we consider signal prior knowledge, grounded in communication protocols and physical principles, as a potential way to enhance
The increasing complexity and dynamic nature of communication environments necessitate more robust and adaptive AI models for modulation classification, pushing research into integrating domain-specific knowledge.
Improving automatic modulation classification (AMC) enhances the efficiency and reliability of military and civilian communication systems, impacting areas from intelligence gathering to spectrum management.
This research suggests a more resilient approach to AMC by combining data-driven deep learning with communication protocol prior knowledge, improving generalization across varying communication conditions.
