With rapid advancement in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), automatic modulation classification (AMC) using deep learning (DL) techniques has become very popular. This is even more relevant for Internet of things (IoT)‐assisted wireless systems. This paper presents a lightweight, ensemble model with convolution, long short term memory (LSTM), and gated recurrent unit (GRU) layers. The proposed model is termed as deep recurrent convoluted network with additional gated layer (DRCaG). It has bee…
