Memory Enhanced PSO-Based Optimization Approach for Smart Antennas Control in Complex Interference Scenarios

In the framework of control methods for adaptive phased-arrays, this paper deals with complex communication scenarios by considering a memory-enhanced cooperative algorithm. Compared to existing approaches where far-field interferences are taken into account, the proposed analysis considers a more realistic situation where the jamming sources are located either in the near-field or in the far-field of the receiving antenna. In order to carefully address the arising challenges and to effectively deal with such complex environments, an optimization approach based on an enhanced particle swarm optimizer (PSO)-based algorithm is used. The obtained results seem to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technique in terms of both signal-to-noise ratio and computational costs and complexity.
