One key step in the interception process is to blindly recognize the modulation type of the MIMO signals. This can be performed by employing a Modulation Classification (MC) algorithm, which can be feature-based or likelihood-based. To overcome the problems associated with the existing likelihood-based MC algorithms, a new algorithm is developed in this paper. We formulated the MC problem as maximizing a global likelihood function formed by combining the likelihood functions for the estimated transmitted signals, where Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) filtering is employed to separate the MIMO channel into several sub-channels. Simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm works well under various operating conditions, and performs close to the performance upper bound with reasonable complexity. © 2016 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved. date: 2016 publisher: American Scientific Publishers official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85015159591&doi=10.1166%2fjctn.2016.5788&partnerID=40&md5=a80259c6c9cba296d147d8e04789ab21 id_number: 10.1166/jctn.2016.5788 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Computational and Theoretical Nanoscience volume: 13 number: 11 pagerange: 7879-7885 refereed: TRUE issn: 15461955 citation: Bahloul, M.R. and Yusoff, M.Z. and Abdel-Aty, A.-H. and Saad, M.N.M.
