Abstract

The IEEE802.15.4 standard has been widely used in modern industry due to its several benefits for stability, scalability, and enhancement of wireless mesh networking. This standard uses a physical layer of binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) modulation and can be operated with two frequency bands, 868 and 915 MHz. The frequency noise could interfere with the BPSK signal, which causes distortion to the signal before its arrival at receiver. Therefore, filtering the BPSK signal from noise is essential to ensure carrying the signal from the sender to the receiver with less error. Therefore, removing signal noise in the BPSK signal is necessary to mitigate its negative sequences and increase its capability in industrial wireless sensor networks. Moreover, researchers have reported a positive impact of utilizing the Kalmen filter in detecting the modulated signal at the receiver side in different communication systems, including ZigBee. Meanwhile, artificial neural network (ANN) and machine learning (ML) models outperformed results for predicting signals for detection and classification purposes. This paper develops a neural network predictive detection method to enhance the performance of BPSK modulation. First, a simulation-based model is used to generate the modulated signal of BPSK in the IEEE802.15.4 wireless personal area network (WPAN) standard. Then, Gaussian noise was injected into the BPSK simulation model. To reduce the noise of BPSK phase signals, a recurrent neural networks (RNN) model is implemented and integrated at the receiver side to estimate the BPSK’s phase signal. We evaluated our predictive-detection RNN model using mean square error (MSE), correlation coefficient, recall, and F1-score metrics. The result shows that our predictive-detection method is superior to the existing model due to the low MSE and correlation coefficient (R-value) metric for different signal-to-noise (SNR) values. In addition, our RNN-based model scored 98.71% and 96.34% based on recall and F1-score, respectively.

1  Introduction

IEEE802.15.4 has brought the industrial community’s attention because of its features in power consumption [1], wireless sensor mesh networks [2], home automation, and the Internet of Things (IoT). IEEE802.15.4 physical layer uses BPSK modulation with two options of frequency bands which are 868 and 915 MHz. Many wireless sensor network protocols are built on top of IEEE802.15.4 physical and medium access control (MAC) layers, such as ZigBee, WirelessHart, 6LoWPAN, and MiWi [3]. However, BPSK is susceptible to noise, leading to several issues, such as low detection performance of BPSK signal and weak signal energy [410]. Moreover, noise can be initiated by human or natural phenomena, and in both cases, it is considered a big challenge for signal reception [1115]. Therefore, removing noise in the BPSK signal is necessary to mitigate its negative sequences and increase its capability in industrial wireless sensor networks.

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have shown a great success in solving different problems such as image recognition [16,17], semantic segmentation [18], object detection [19,20], cell segmentation and counting [21,22]. Initially, ANN was inspired by biological brain neurons and connections between multiple neuron activities [23]. Although ANN has existed since the 1970s, recent progress in artificial neural networks is due to the big data, the computation resources advances, and the development of algorithms and optimizers that advanced the learning process of artificial neural networks [22].

A recurrent neural network (RNN) is an artificial neural network algorithm that is used to learn from sequential data. It has a different architecture than the classical neural network algorithm, such as feedforward, because the internal state at time t is input at time t + 1, which allows RNNs to learn from a sequence of data that is related to each other [24]. RNN can be expressed as in Eq. (1), where ht is the hidden state at time t, xt is the input at time t, and θ is the parameters for the RNN. Therefore, learning at each time step t is based on the hidden state at earlier time step ht−1, which allows RNN to learn from subsequent input data [25].

ht=f(ht1;xt;θ) (1)

In this research, first, we injected Gaussian noise into the BPSK signal. Second, we collected the data from the BPSK simulation model. Third, we used an RNN technique to detect noise that interfered with the BPSK signal based on supervised learning. In addition, the BPSK signal will be recovered from the noise by predicting the noisy BPSK signal. Furthermore, this research uses the RNN to learn from BPSK sequential data because RNN has shown extraordinary performance in capturing nonlinear relationships on sequential data [26]. The experiment results confirm that the implemented RNN used in this research has shown the expected results in detecting and recovering the BPSK signal.

1.1 Contributions

This research enhances the BPSK phase signals at the receiver side by:

•   Reducing the noise interfered with the BPSK signal at the receiver side of ZigBee.

•   To do that, we implemented the RNN model to detect the noisy signal of the BPSK system via predicting the phase.

•   We evaluated our RNN model using MSE, correlation coefficient, recall, and F1-Score metrics. As a result, our model shows better performance than the existing model, in which we scored 8.0621e-13 on MSE, 98.71% on recall, and 96.34% on F1-Score.

None of the previous works highlighted the accuracy of applying machine learning or deep learning to detect phase changes. In this paper, we investigate using a neural network-based phase signal detection method to optimize the performance of Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK). Therefore, we integrate a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to detect the BPSK’s phase signal at the receiver side. Furthermore, we test the performance of the proposed method to check its superiority against the existing model by trying the system for different Signal-to-Noise (SNR) values.

3  Methodology

3.1 BPSK System Model

The mathematical representation of the BPSK waveform Sm(t) is described below with a deep concentration on the carrier phase changes m and the number of possible carrier phases M [38,39]:

Sm(t)=Re[g(t)ei2π(m1)M ei2πfct] (2)

Sm(t)=g(t)cos(2πfc(t)+2πM (m1)) (3)

Sm(t)=g(t)cos(m)cos(2πfc(t)g(t)sin(m) sin(2πfc(t)) (4)

m=2π(m1)M (5)

where m is the carrier phase, g(t) is the signal pulse shape, fc is the carrier frequency, is the number of possible carrier phases. In BPSK, the number of carrier phases is M = 2. The mathematical representation of the BPSK can be defined as follows:

S1(t)=Accos(2πfct),                 0t Tb (6)

S0(t)=Accos(2πfct+π),                 0t Tb (7)

Eq. (6) is used to transmit 1, and Eq. (7) is used to transmit 0. In general, the BPSK modulated signal can be represented as:

S(t)=Accos(ωt+φ(t))  (8)

where φ(t) defines the phase changes of the carrier in BPSK waveform, Ac is the amplitude of the carrier, and it does not carry any information in PSK. Fig. 1 displays the BPSK waveform generation in IEEE802.15.4 standard [3,40]. Binary bits are encoded deferentially and then mapped to chips (spreading) and then get passed through BPSK modulation with pulse shaping named as normal raised cosine filtering.

3.2 Proposed Method: RNN-Based Phase Detection Model

We developed an RNN model to predict the actual carrier phase of the BPSK waveform with the effect of Gaussian noise. In Fig. 2, we illustrate the system pipeline used in this research. Initially, the dataset was collected in the first two components: BPSK modulation and phase detection using the ZigBee software simulation. The dataset size is (60480 × 5); each column has a different SNR value (5, 7, 11, 13, 15) respectively. Then the collected dataset was split into two parts; the first part was used to train the RNN model, and the second part was used to test the model.

images

Figure 2: The proposed approach, where the BPSK modulation signal is used for phase detection followed by splitting the data into training and testing. The training data is used to train the RNN model, followed by testing and obtaining the predicted phase

In the training phase, we trained the RNN with a noisy phase signal with an 11 SNR value. The dataset was divided into three partitions during the training procedure: 80% of the data was used for training, 10% used for validation, and 10% used for testing. We used the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm to train our model. Finally, we tested our model with the above SNR values in the testing procedure.

3.3 Architecture of RNN

We briefly showed Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) in architecture Fig. 3. It consists of three layers: input, hidden, and output layer. The input layer is fed with the input signal x(t), which is the noisy phase signal of the BPSK system. The hidden layer has ten nodes to perform the required calculation to predict the actual signals of BPSK. After that, the estimated value is delivered to the output layer y(t). The feedback node is an essential part of the RNN because it feeds the input layer with the previous prediction y(t − 1), which leads to an increase in the accuracy of the prediction procedure.

Figure 3: Architecture of RNN

A full architecture of our proposed RNN model is shown in Fig. 4. The input layer has two neurons; one receives the input value, and another receives the feedback value. The feedback value is fed with an input value to the hidden layer to increase the accuracy of the prediction. The hidden layer has ten neurons, and the output layer has a single neuron that produces the predicted BPSK value.

4  Results and Discussion

4.1 Evaluation of RNN

We used two methods to evaluate the training of the RNN model: Mean Squared Error (MSE) and correlation coefficient (R-value). MSE is a metric calculated using two parameters, the target data (true BPSK signal) and RNN output (predicted BPSK signal) [41]. Therefore the smaller value of MSE means a similarity between the target data and the network output data, which is what we are looking for in this case [42]. Fig. 5 shows the MSE performance of the RNN model while the SNR value equals 11 during the training procedure. The best validation performance was reached when the epoch was equal to 42. Table 1 shows the performance of the correlation coefficient (R-value) along with MSE values.

The R-value is also calculated between the target data and the RNN output. If the R-value between the target (true BPSK signal) and the predicted BPSK signals (output) is close to 1, that means they have comparable results [43]. Therefore, by looking at Fig. 6, the R-values for training, validation, and test are equal to 1.

Figure 6: Training results

We also evaluated the testing of the RNN model. We calculated the accuracy using two parameters, recall, and F1-score. The recall is calculated using Eq. (9) [44]. In classification, TP represents the true positive rate, TN represents the true negative rate, FP represents the false positive rate, and FN represents the false negative rate. The precision is calculated using Eq. (10), and the F1-score is calculated in Eq. (11). Our model achieved 98.71% of recall and 96.34% of F1-score.

Recall =TPTP+FN (9)

Precision =TPTP+FP  (10)

F1Score =2Precision × RecallPrecision + Recall  (11)

4.2 Comparison Results

We illustrated the design of the artificial neural network receiver and discussed its architecture in the previous Section 3. This section discusses the evaluation of the proposed method against the existing model of BPSK in IEEE802.15.4 standard in the presence of Gaussian noise. Furthermore, we obtained the response of the BPSK signal waveform without using the proposed method, and second, we recorded the system’s response in the presence of the proposed method. The simulation of the BPSK system was recorded for different SNR values = 7, 11, 13, 15, as depicted in Figs. 711. The reason for showing that is to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method. Figs. 7a, 8a, 9a, 10a, and 11a illustrate the performance of the BPSK system without using the proposed method for different SNR values. However, Figs. 7b, 8b, 9b, 10b, and 11b show the performance of the BPSK system using the proposed method. For example, Fig. 7a illustrates the response of the noise and true phases of the BPSK system. The red line represents the noise phase, and the blue line represents the true phase. We recorded the simulation for the first 100 s. By comparing the response of the noisy and true phases, we notice the differentiation between the two signals. However, Fig. 7b represents the performance of the predicted phase compared with the phase of the BPSK system using the proposed method. We can conclude that the predicted and true phases of the BPSK system have identical results.

5  Conclusions and Recommendations

In our proposed method, we focused on reducing the noise of the BPSK system. First, we integrated Gaussian noise into the BPSK simulation model. Second, we collected the data from the BPSK simulation model. Third, we implemented an RNN supervised learning-based model to detect the noisy BPSK phase signal and then predict the phase signal. The proposed RNN-based phase signal detection shows the potential to optimize the performance of BPSK modulated signal. The proposed method is optimal due to its low MSE for different SNR values. We achieved 8.0621e-13 of MSE when the SNR value is equal to 11. Furthermore, we evaluated our RNN model using recall and F1-score metrics. Our model showed a recall of 98.71% and an F1-score of 96.34%. The proposed RNN model can be integrated at the receiver side for different mobile and WPAN standards to detect different phase signals. In addition, we recommend testing the proposed method applied in IEEE802.15.4 standard under different nominal propagation such as non-Gaussian noise and co-channel interference (CCI) with Bluetooth, WiFi, or other IEEE802.15.4 networks to test its robustness.
