IQ Symbols Processing Schemes With LSTMs in OFDM System

IQ modulation enjoys great popularity in wireless communication. Its main advantage is the symmetric convenience of combining independent signal components into a single composite signals in the transmitter. And it splits the composite signal into its independent components in the receiver. However, due to the limitations of communication facilities and imperfect channel environments, the symbols will be distorted. In this paper, we propose several signal processing schemes based on deep learning (DL) neural networks (i.e., long short-term memory (LSTM)) to process signal in an end-to-end manner, known as DLA, EDLA and PDNet. These schemes combine with advanced DL architectures and data-driven models for complex-valued signal processing. Enlightened by IQ demodulation ideas, we adopt LSTMs to develop several schemes to implement different functions (i.e., signal detection and peak to average power ratio (PAPR) reduction). The simulation results show that the schemes have significant performance improvement in bit error rate (BER) while reducing the probability of high PAPR.
