APPLICATIONS OF PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a popular technique used to solve optimization problems in WSNs due to its simplicity, high quality of solution, fast convergence and insignificant computational burden. However, iterative nature of PSO can prohibit its use for high-speed real-time applications, especially If optimization needs to be carried out frequently. This paper outlines issues in WSNs, introduces PSO and discusses its suitability for WSN applications. It also presents a brief survey of how PSO is tailored to address these issues. The objective of this paper is to give a flavor of PSO to researchers in WSN, and to give a qualitative treatment of optimization problems in WSNs to PSO researchers in order to promote PSO in WSN applications.
