Automatic modulation recognition (AMR) has received significant attention since its decisive factor for modern non-cooperative communication systems. Meanwhile, the existing works on deep learning technique achieve exceptional accuracy; however, these works dissatisfy real-time requirements for 5G low-latency services. To remedy this flaw, this brief proposes a low-latency AMR method by applying temporal convolutional network (TCN). Furthermore, the principal component analysis (PCA)-based TCN and uniform subsampling-based TCN methods are leveraged to further alleviate the computation complexity and render real-time TCN viable. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve lower complexity and superior recognition accuracy than existing works and pave the way for 5G low-latency services.
