A Comparison Study of PAPR Reduction in OFDM Systems Based on Swarm Intelligence Algorithms
Optimization algorithms have been one of the most important research topics in Computational Intelligence Community. They are widely utilized mathematical functions that solve optimization problems in a variety of purposes via the maximization or minimization of a function. The swarm intelligence (SI) optimization algorithms are an active branch of Evolutionary Computation, they are increasingly becoming one of the hottest and most important paradigms, several algorithms were proposed for tackling optimization problems. The most respected and popular SI algorithms are Ant colony optimization (ACO) and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Fireworks Algorithm (FWA) is a novel swarm intelligence algorithm, which seems effective at finding a good enough solution of a complex optimization problem. In this chapter we proposed a comparison study to reduce the high PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio) in OFDM systems based on the swarm intelligence algorithms like simulated annealing (SA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), fireworks algorithm (FWA), and genetic algorithm (GA). It turns out from the results that some algorithms find a good enough solutions and clearly outperform the others candidates in both convergence speed and global solution accuracy.
