Optimized Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces Configuration in Multiuser Wireless Networks via Fuzzy-Enhanced Pied Kingfisher Strategy

Abstract

This paper proposes a new fuzzified multi-objective wireless communication optimization model that maximizes the quantity and placement of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs). In order to meet realistic deployment constraints like non-overlapping and acceptable location, the model aims to decrease the number of deployed RISs while raising the achievable rate. The Modified Pied Kingfisher Optimization Algorithm (MPKOA) is suggested as a solution to this intricate optimization issue. MPKOA features many significant improvements over the traditional Pied Kingfisher Optimization Algorithm (PKOA), such as energy-based motion control, adaptive subgrouping, flock cooperation, and memory-driven re-perching. These techniques speed up convergence, improve solution precision, reduce computation time, and balance exploration and exploitation. MPKOA performs better than standard PKOA, Enhanced version of PKOA (EPKO), Differential Evolution (DE), Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO), and other existing algorithms, according to extensive comparisons. MPKOA can achieve up to 20% higher optimization values and 30% faster convergence, according to simulation data. In addition, the proposed MPKOA reduces computational complexity and runtime by about 50% when compared to standard PKOA-based approaches since it only requires single fitness evaluation per iteration. This enables the deployment of fewer RISs while still achieving higher communication rates. In multiuser wireless systems, MPKOA offers a robust and effective approach to RIS placement optimization, which helps to boost capacity and provide more energy-efficient 6G communication networks.
