%X This study develops a feature-based Automatic Modulation Classification (AMC) algorithm for spatially multiplexed Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems employing two Higher Order Cumulants (HOCs) of the estimated transmit signal streams as discriminating features and a multiclass Support Vector Machine (SVM) as a classification system. The algorithm under study has the capability to recognize a wide range of modulation schemes without any prior information about the channel state. The classification performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated via extensive simulations under different operating conditions and was also compared with the one obtained with the optimal Hybrid Likelihood Ratio Test (HLRT) approach. The results show that the proposed algorithm is capable of classifying the considered modulation schemes with good classification accuracy and can achieve performance comparable to that of the HLRT approach while having a significantly lower computational complexity. © Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2015.
