RadioModRec-l: A Large Scale Radio Frequency Dataset for Automatic Modulation Recognition Research

Abstract

Access to well-curated large datasets remains a significant bottleneck in AI-based research within wireless communication. Rapid advancements in neighbouring fields, such as computer vision and natural language processing, are largely due to the availability of extensive open-access datasets. However, similar progress has not been observed in wireless communication. To address this gap, we curated a comprehensive dataset for fifteen digital modulation schemes, including 4QAM, 16QAM, 64QAM, 256QAM, 8PSK, 16PSK, 32PSK, 64PSK, 128PSK, 256PSK, CPFSK, DBPSK, DQPSK, GFSK, and GMSK. Our dataset considers Rayleigh and Rician channel models under Additive White Gaussian Noise (A WGN) with SNRs ranging from -20dB to + 20dB in 5dB increments. The data samples were converted to constellation signal images and carefully pre-processed. Named RadioModRec, this dataset provides a valuable resource for researchers to train and evaluate AI models. It is freely accessible on Kaggle, promoting further innovation in the wireless communication domain.
