Abstract—The advancement of digital communication and technology triggered new challenges related to the channel and radio spectrum utilization. From the other hand, real-time communications are keen of time where requests need to be processed in very short time. Automatic modulation is one of promising approaches that relies on pretrained classifiers in order to recognize the type of modulation techniques used by the transmitter. Considering that noise is dominating between the transmitter and receiver, the task of automatic modulation classification is become harder. Noise is destroying the obvious features of the signals and degrade the classification accuracy. The modulation identification technique is made to recognize the type of modulation using the deep learning technology. This paper is listing the common stat of the arts used in automatic modulation classification along with their performance measures. It was realized that deep learning classifier manifested in Conventional Neural Network (CNN) is outperformed in AMC scoring of 85.41 % of recognition accuracy.
