The hybrid method for determining an adaptive step size of the unknown system identification using genetic algorithm and LMS algorithm

We describe the application of a genetic algorithm (GA) to the problem of parameter optimization for an adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) filter combining genetic algorithm (GA) and least mean square (LMS) algorithm. For system identification problem, LMS algorithm computes the filter coefficients and GA search the optimal step-size adaptively. Because step-size influences on the stability and performance, so it is necessary to apply method that can control it. The simulation results of the GA were compared to the traditional LMS algorithm. We obtained that genetic algorithm was clearly superior (in accuracy) in most cases.
