Abstract
En 中文
In this paper, a modified grasshopper optimization algorithm is proposed for equalization of non-linear wireless communication channels. Even though grasshopper optimisation algorithm (GOA) is an efficient algorithm, it gets trapped into local optima after some iterations due to loss of swarm diversity. Furthermore, GOA does not involve any provision to retain the elite grasshoppers found so far at each index which weakens the exploitation capability and convergence rate of GOA. These limitations of GOA are alleviated in this paper by incorporating three key modifications into GOA. A threshold parameter is introduced to detect the inefficient search region. Le ' vy Flight is integrated with the basic GOA to improve the diversity of grasshopper swarm and the greedy selection operator is used to preserve the elite grasshoppers found so far at every index. The superiority of a modified grasshopper optimization algorithm (MGOA) is illustrated over the existing metaheuristic algorithms. The key parameters of MGOA are selected by performing the sensitivity analysis. The simulation results on four non-linear channels demonstrate the equalization capability of the proposed MGOA in terms of MSE and BER performance. A statistical validity of results provided by MGOA is confirmed through Wilcoxon rank -sum test.
