A digital modulator plays a crucial role in converting symbols into signals in an IoT gateway. However, the ever-increasing modulation schemes pose practical challenges, such as flexibility for different schemes and portability with different hardware platforms. To address these challenges, we propose a new approach that employs a neural network as an abstraction layer for physical layer modulators, called the NN-defined modulator. We will demonstrate that the NN-defined modulator functions like traditional modulators and offers high portability and efficiency with example communication to ZigBee and WiFi.

Abstract
A digital modulator plays a crucial role in converting symbols into signals in an IoT gateway. However, the ever-increasing modulation schemes pose practical challenges, such as flexibility for different schemes and portability with different hardware platforms. To address these challenges, we propose a new approach that employs a neural network as an abstraction layer for physical layer modulators, called the NN-defined modulator. We will demonstrate that the NN-defined modulator functions like traditional modulators and offers high portability and efficiency with example communication to ZigBee and WiFi.
