Communication signal reconstruction technology represents a critical area of research within communication countermeasures and signal processing. Considering traditional OFDM signal reconstruction methods’ intricacy and suboptimal reconstruction performance, a dual discriminator CGAN model incorporating LSTM and Transformer is proposed. When reconstructing OFDM signals using the traditional CNN network, it becomes challenging to extract intricate temporal information. Therefore, the BiLSTM network is incorporated into the first discriminator to capture timing details of the IQ (In-phase and Quadrature-phase) sequence and constellation map information of the AP (Amplitude and Phase) sequence. Subsequently, following the addition of fixed position coding, these data are fed into the core network constructed based on the Transformer Encoder for further learning. Simultaneously, to capture the correlation between the two IQ signals, the VIT (Vision in Transformer) concept is incorporated into the second discriminator. The IQ sequence is treated as a single-channel two-dimensional image and segmented into pixel blocks containing IQ sequence through Conv2d. Fixed position coding is added and sent to the Transformer core network for learning. The generator network transforms input noise data into a dimensional space aligned with the IQ signal and embedding vector dimensions. It appends identical position encoding information to the IQ sequence before sending it to the Transformer network. The experimental results demonstrate that, under commonly utilized OFDM modulation formats such as BPSK, QPSK, and 16QAM, the time series waveform, constellation diagram, and spectral diagram exhibit high-quality reconstruction. Our algorithm achieves improved signal quality while managing complexity compared to other reconstruction methods.
Currently, deep learning has become a mainstream approach for automatic modulation classification (AMC) with its powerful feature extraction capability. Complex-valued neural networks (CVNNs) show unique advantages in the field of communication signal processing because of their ability to directly process complex data and obtain signal amplitude and phase information. However, existing models face deployment challenges due to excessive parameters and computational complexity. To address these limitations, a lightweight dual-branch complex-valued neural network (LDCVNN) is proposed. The framework uses dual pathways to separately capture features with phase information and complex-scaling-equivariant representations, adaptively fused via trainable weighted fusion. Spatial and channel reconstruction convolution (SCConv) is extended to complex domain and combined with complex-valued depthwise separable convolution block (CBlock) and complex-valued average pooling to eliminate feature redundancy and extract higher order features. Finally, efficient classification is realized through complex-valued fully connected layers and a complex-valued Softmax. The evaluations demonstrate that LDCVNN achieves the highest average accuracy on RML2016.10a with only 9.0 K parameters and without data augmentation, which reducing the number of parameters by 99.33% compared to CDSN and by 97.25% compared to CSDNN. Additionally, LDCVNN achieves a better balance between efficiency and performance across other datasets.
Designing Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations for the continuous, collaborative observation of space objects in MEO/GEO is a complex optimization task, frequently limited by prohibitive computational costs. This study introduces an efficient surrogate-based framework to overcome this challenge. Our approach integrates Optimized Latin Hypercube Sampling (OLHS) with a Radial Basis Function (RBF) model to minimize the required number of satellites. In a comprehensive case study targeting 18 diverse space objects—including communication satellites in GEO (e.g., EUTELSAT, ANIK) and navigation satellites in MEO/IGSO from GPS, Galileo, and BeiDou constellations—the method proved highly effective and scalable. It successfully designed a 208-satellite Walker constellation that provides 100% continuous coverage over a 36-h period. Furthermore, the design ensures that each target is simultaneously observed by at least three satellites at all times. A key finding is the method’s remarkable efficiency and scalability: the optimal solution for this larger problem was found using only 46 high-fidelity function evaluations, maintaining a computational time that was 5–8 times faster than traditional global optimization algorithms. This research demonstrates that surrogate-assisted optimization can drastically lower the computational barrier in constellation design, offering a powerful tool for building cost-effective and robust Space Situational Awareness (SSA) systems.
To address the need for wide-area electromagnetic spectrum sensing of space targets from sparse Low-Earth Orbit constellation observations, this paper proposes SRFlow, a flow-matching generative model. We first construct a high-fidelity dataset covering diverse scenarios via STK-MATLAB co-simulation. By integrating multi-source priors and an iterative measurement injection strategy, SRFlow achieves high-quality reconstruction of full spectrum maps from sparse measurements. Experiments demonstrate that SRFlow significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, including the physics-informed diffusion model RMDM, in both reconstruction accuracy (NMSE/SSIM) and computational efficiency (parameters/inference time), under both known and unknown target-position conditions. Moreover, it trains nearly an order of magnitude faster than diffusion models. This work contributes the first dedicated dataset for space-based spectrum sensing, introduces the accurate and efficient SRFlow model, and establishes a rigorous benchmark for future research.
Accurate radio map (RM) construction is essential for 6G wireless network optimization, yet faces significant challenges owing to sparse real-world measurements and dynamic environmental obstacles. This paper presents RMF, a novel single-step generative model based on mean flow matching that enables direct mapping from a noise prior to the target radio map distribution in a single forward pass, eliminating the iterative inference required by diffusion-based approaches. The proposed model integrates a multi-feature U-Net backbone with four specialized branches that extract and fuse building-layout features—via dual-path frequency and spatial-domain processing—base station distance fields, graph neural network-encoded sparse measurements, and dynamic obstacle representations, all injected through multi-scale cross-attention. Evaluations on the RadioMapSeer benchmark show that RMF attains the best RMSE and PSNR among the compared methods, with RMSE between 0.0136 and 0.0162 and PSNR between 36.52 and 37.24 dB, SSIM within 0.012 of the leading diffusion baseline, and an order-of-magnitude reduction in per-sample inference time. In the challenging zero-measurement scenario, RMF achieves PSNR gains of 1.45–1.55 dB over competing methods in both static and dynamic environments. The single forward-pass design yields inference times of 0.05 s, making RMF a promising candidate for real-time 6G applications such as coverage optimization and dynamic spectrum management, subject to validation on field-measured data in future work.
Radio Environment Map (REM) construction is frequently constrained by sparse and unevenly distributed spectrum measurements. While existing completion methods primarily target Power Spectral Density (PSD) data under random missing patterns, the reconstruction of Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) maps under structured data loss remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by proposing a fully convolutional densely connected autoencoder(AE) for RSRP map completion. The encoder stacks dense blocks and transition layers, a bottleneck preserves the latent representation, and the decoder restores spatial resolution through transposed convolution. Both global and local skip connections are incorporated to fuse large-scale structure with fine-grained details. A composite loss function supervises observed and missing regions separately, which preserves the fidelity of known measurements while improving inference over unobserved grid points. Experiments on the public DeepREM dataset under random, spatial, and strip-wise missing patterns show that the method achieves the best or comparable completion accuracy in most tested settings, with the most pronounced performance gains over mainstream baselines under the challenging spatial block-missing case.
