A Novel Signal Detection Scheme Based on Adaptive Ensemble Deep Learning Algorithm in SC-FDE Systems

Abstract

Reliable signal detection plays an essential role in enhancing the quality of signal transmission in wireless communication systems. In this paper, we combine signal detection theory with a deep learning model and propose a novel signal detection scheme based on adaptive ensemble long short term memory (AE-LSTM) neural network to handle wireless single carrier frequency domain equalization (SC-FDE) systems in an end-to-end manner. The feature information used for offline training of the deep learning model is extracted from the received signal containing channel state information (CSI) after the multi-path channel and fast Fourier transform (FFT), and the labels are assigned according to the constellation map adopted at the transmitter. To improve the adaptability of the system, we utilize the received power under different delays as the adaptive factor to integrate the output of each sub-network. Then the original data generated by the channel model is recovered by using the trained model instead of channel estimation and frequency domain equalization. Comparative experiments on SC-FDE symbol detection demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves better performance in terms of reliability than the traditional scheme and the similar deep learning scheme.
