Performance evaluation of the correntropy coefficient in automatic modulation classification

作者：

Highlights：

• We propose the direct use of the correntropy for modulation format recognition.

• We investigate the influence of kernel size on the performance of the classifier.

• The absence of a pre-processing module in the classifier reduces the complexity.

• The method was shown to be highly efficient and scalable for wireless systems.
