A method for receiving a modulated signal, includes the steps of receiving a signal modulated by a pulse position modulation (PPM) or a pulse width modulation (PWM) or a pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) or an on-off keying (OOK) amplitude modulation, corresponding to the transmission of a sequence of one or more consecutive digital symbols, squaring the received signal, projecting the square of the received signal onto multiple components of an analogue signal basis in order to obtain an analogue vector of dimension equal to the number of projection components, the components of the analogue signal basis being non-constant functions, digitizing the analogue vector into a digital vector, jointly demodulating the components of the digital vector by way of a maximum likelihood algorithm in order to estimate the transmitted sequence of one or more consecutive digital symbols.

Method for receiving a modulated signal, and associated receiver

A method for receiving a plurality of separate signals transmitted respectively by a plurality of transmit antennas, includes the steps of: receiving a plurality of respective signals on a plurality of receive antennas, applying energy detection to each of the received signals, jointly demodulating the received signals by way of a machine-learning algorithm trained beforehand so as to learn to demodulate each modulated symbol of the transmitted signal based on the respective contributions of this modulated symbol that are received on the plurality of receive antennas.

Machine learning-based demodulation method for energy-detecting MIMO receivers

The present invention relates to a method for adapting a link using a polar-modulation (PQAM) constellation. It applies in particular to the communications in the sub-THz band, in which the oscillator of the receiver has phase fluctuations. In a PQAM-modulation constellation, the modulation symbols are distributed on concentric circles equidistant in the complex plane, each circle including the same number of symbols, the angular distribution of the symbols on a circle being uniform and identical regardless of the circle. The adaptation of the link is carried out by taking into account the thermal noise as well as the phase noise.
