A Parameter Extraction Net for Wireless Wideband Received Signals Based on UNet
Lulu Liu, Rui Zhu, Yushuai Zhang, Yan Zhang, Zhibo Shi, Le Gao, Yaru LiReliable wideband spectrum monitoring requires signal detection, modulation discrimination, and parameter extraction. This paper presents a segmentation-driven hybrid pipeline for synthetic wideband time-frequency representations. Received waveforms are converted into spectrograms, and a task-oriented UNet variant termed HOC-UNet combines high-frequency perception (HFP), OmniAttention (OA), and Coordinate Attention (CA) to predict pixel-level signal masks. Deterministic connected-component analysis and time-frequency coordinate mapping then recover start time, duration, center frequency, and bandwidth. The contribution is not a new attention operator; it is a stage-specific integration in which boundary-sensitive processing is placed in shallow encoder and skip features, coordinate attention reweights the two highest-resolution skips, and an Omni-Dimensional Dynamic Convolution (ODConv)-derived channel/filter attention plug-in refines all four decoder fusion stages. Experiments use a controlled synthetic benchmark with nine modulation types and eight additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) power settings (−5, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 dBW). The reported aggregate binary mean intersection over union (mIoU) is 88.65%, while the reported multi-class mIoU is 52.47%. On successfully matched components at 0 dBW, HOC-UNet obtains start-time, duration, center-frequency, and bandwidth normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) values of 0.00406, 0.00940, 0.00057, and 0.02510 in the binary task and 0.00379, 0.00759, 0.00075, and 0.00707 in the multi-class task, respectively. These conditional errors do not include missed detections or false alarms. The conclusions are, therefore, limited to the constructed synthetic AWGN benchmark; measured channels, fading, interference, frequency offset, and hardware impairments remain to be validated.
