Method and apparatus for communication of signals

Abstract

A method and apparatus comprising a neural-network-based encoder, a neural-network-based decoder, or both, are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, a method comprises mapping, in a first artificial neural network, a plurality of data values to a plurality of constellation points; adding noise to the constellation points to obtain a plurality of noise-added constellation points; mapping, in a second artificial neural network, the plurality of noise-added constellation points to a plurality of data value representations; and applying the plurality of data value representations to perform a communication operation selected from a group consisting of modulating transmit data in a transmitter and demodulating a receive signal in a receiver.
