Abstract
A processor (1104) receives a baseband signal including a plurality of symbols, and determines (1002) a maximum modulation level and a minimum modulation level in the baseband signal through a modified self-organizing map clustering technique. The processor initializes (1008) a plurality of clusters (700, 800) corresponding to the plurality of modulation levels, based upon the maximum and minimum modulation levels; and processes (1010), through a modified adaptive k-means clustering technique, a symbol value corresponding to each of the plurality of symbols by updating (1012) parameters maintained for a cluster of the plurality of clusters, the cluster having a cluster mean value within a modulation-specified distance from the symbol value. The processor calculates (1014) a plurality of statistical values from the parameters maintained for the plurality of clusters, and classifies (1016, 1018, 1020) the baseband signal, based upon the plurality of statistical values and the parameters.
