crowded and complicated, primary users may be
interfered by secondary users and other illegal users.
Automatic modulation classification (AMC) of a single
source cannot recognize the overlapped sources.
Consequently, the AMC of overlapped sources attracts
much attention. In this paper, we propose a genetic
programming-based modulation classification method for
overlapped sources (GPOS). The proposed GPOS consists
of two stages, the training stage, and the
classification stage. In the training stage, multi-gene
genetic programming (MGP)-based feature engineering
transforms sample estimates of cumulants into highly
discriminative MGP-features iteratively, until optimal
MGP-features (OMGP-features) are obtained, where the
structural risk minimization principle (SRMP) is
employed to evaluate the classification performance of
MGP-features and train the classifier. Moreover, a
self-adaptive genetic operation is designed to
accelerate the feature engineering process. In the
classification stage, the classification decision is
made by the trained classifier using the OMGP-features.
Through simulation results, we demonstrate that the
proposed scheme outperforms other existing methods in
terms of classification performance and robustness in
case of varying power ratios and fading channel.",
