Deep Learning-Aided Signal Detection for Two-Stage Index Modulated Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier Systems

The growing interests in Internet of Underwater Things (IoUT) put forward more demands for underwater acoustic (UWA) communication technologies. However, the conventional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology underperforms in terms of the resistance to carrier frequency offset (CFO), symbol time offset (STO), and applicability to multiple application scenarios. To remedy the...
