The Performance Analysis of Mean Square Error and Bit Error Rate for Wireless Communication Using a Modified Firefly Algorithm with NN Equalizer

This paper presents a modified firefly algorithm applied to the wireless communication problem of optimizing the Mean Square Error (MSE) and Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of a multi-user wireless transmission system. The classical Firefly Algorithm (FA) is modified to improve its optimization performance and address challenges in non-linear system optimization. Two different objective functions were used to evaluate the proposed algorithm - MSE and BER. The numerical results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed MFA in optimizing both objectives and its superiority over other techniques. Furthermore, this paper provides a detailed analysis of the impact of key parameters of the MFA on the optimization performance. The effective convergence and improved optimization performance indicate the great potential of this approach, which can be applied to other wireless problems in order to achieve better communication performance.
