利用信号内部调制一致性,实现低标注下的自动调制识别
Modulation Consistency-based Contrastive Learning for Self-Supervised Automatic Modulation Classification

- 从同一信号不同时间片段构造正样本对,捕捉调制类型不变性
- 在低标签场景下显著提升线性探测准确率,优于现有基线方法
- 适合缺乏标注数据的无线通信系统调制识别任务
基于深度学习的自动调制分类(AMC)方法表现优异,但实际部署受限于标注数据的高成本。尽管自监督学习(SSL)降低了对标签的依赖,现有方法常采用与调制分类无关的预训练目标,导致表征纠缠于符号、信道和噪声等干扰因素。本文识别出信号内部调制一致性作为任务相关的结构先验:同一信号的不同时间片段波形可能不同,但调制类型保持一致,从而为任务对齐的自监督提供可靠线索。基于此,我们提出Mod-CL框架,通过构建同一信号实例中不同时间片段的正样本对,促使模型学习共享的调制信息并抑制干扰变化。进一步设计了适配的对比学习目标,结合时间分割与数据增强,在不引发信号内监督冲突的前提下,拉近具有相同调制语义的视图。在RadioML数据集上的大量实验表明,Mod-CL在低标签条件下持续优于强基线,线性探测准确率有显著提升。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep learning-based AMC methods have achieved remarkable performance, but their practical deployment remains constrained by the high cost of labeled data. Although self-supervised learning (SSL) reduces the reliance on labels, existing SSL-based AMC methods often rely on task-agnostic pretext objectives misaligned with modulation classification, leading to representations entangled with nuisance factors such as symbol, channel, and noise. In this paper, we identify intra-instance modulation consistency as a task-aware structural prior, whereby different temporal segments of the same signal may differ in waveform while preserving the same modulation type, thus providing a principled cue for task-aligned self-supervision. Based on this prior, we propose Mod-CL, a Modulation consistency-based Contrastive Learning framework that constructs positive pairs from different temporal segments of the same signal instance, to encourage the model to learn shared modulation information while suppressing nuisance variations. We further develop a contrastive objective tailored to Mod-CL, which jointly exploits temporal segmentation and data augmentation to pull together views sharing the same modulation semantics while avoiding supervisory conflicts within each signal instance. Extensive experiments on RadioML datasets show that Mod-CL consistently outperforms strong baselines, especially in low-label regimes, achieving substantial improvements in linear probing accuracy.
