Abstract:

Multi-objective parameter adjustment plays an important role in improving the performance of the cognitive radio (CR) system. Current research focus on the genetic algorithm (GA) to achieve parameter optimization in CR, while general GA always fall into premature convergence. Thereafter, this paper proposed a linear scale transformation to the fitness of individual chromosome, which can reduce the impact of extraordinary individuals exiting in the early evolution iterations, and ensure competition between individuals in the latter evolution iterations. This paper also introduces an adaptive crossover and mutation probability algorithm into parameter adjustment, which can ensure the diversity and convergence of the population. Two applications are applied in the parameter adjustment of CR, one application prefers the bit error rate and another prefers the bandwidth. Simulation results show that the improved parameter adjustment algorithm can converge to the global optimal solution fast without falling into premature convergence.
