A Support Vector Machine Blind Equalization Algorithm Based on Immune Clone Algorithm

Abstract

Aiming at affecting of the parameter selection method of support vector machine(SVM) on its application in blind equalization algorithm, a SVM constant modulus blind equalization algorithm based on immune clone selection algorithm(CSA-SVM-CMA) is proposed. In this proposed algorithm, the immune clone algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of the SVM on the basis advantages of its preventing evolutionary precocious, avoiding local optimum, and fast convergence. The proposed algorithm can improve the parameter selection efficiency of SVM constant modulus blind equalization algorithm(SVM-CMA) and overcome the defect of the artificial setting parameters. Accordingly, the CSA-SVM-CMA has faster convergence rate and smaller mean square error than the SVM-CMA. Computer simulations in underwater acoustic channels have proved the validity of the algorithm.
