Index modulation (IM) represents an innovative digital modulation technique that exploits the indices of parameters of communication systems to transmit extra information bits. This paper aims to examine the performance of a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based AMR across various IM systems, including spatial modulation (SM), quadrature spatial modulation (QSM), and generalized spatial modulation (GSM) with eight digital modulation schemes. In this study, we leverage confusion matrices, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and F1 scores to illustrate the recognition model's outputs.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSpatial modulationClassificationPerformanceOfdmAutomatic modulation recognitionConvolutional neural networkIndex modulationMachine learningScience & technologyTechnologyComputer science, artificial intelligenceEngineering, electrical & electronicOperations research & management scienceComputer scienceEngineeringOperations research & management scienceArticle00112560380000124010.1016/j.eswa.2023.122665
