Using Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has become a common heuristic technique in many fields of engineering. In this paper, we apply PSO to solve Joint Multiuser and Inter-symbol Interference (ISI) Suppression problems in the code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems over multipath Rayleigh fading channel, to reduce the computational complexity. In the proposed method, conventional detector (CD) is used as the first stage to initialize the PSO algorithm and time-varying acceleration coefficients (TVAC) are used in PSO algorithm. The simulation results show that the performance of PSO-based MUD with TVAC is promising and outperform the CD.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
