Receiver and transmitter adaptation using stochastic gradient hill climbing with genetic mutation

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform steps for equalizing a transmitter, the steps comprising:

• performing one or more stochastic gradient hill climbing operations and one or more genetic mutation operations on one or more parameters used to equalize a signal transmitted by the transmitter;
• determining that, in response to the one or more stochastic gradient hill climbing operations and the one or more genetic mutation operations, a metric associated with a frequency response to the signal at a receiver has reached a local maximum;
• determining, when the metric is at the local maximum, one or more values for the one or more parameters;
• and
• transmitting, to the transmitter, the one or more values for the one or more parameters, wherein at least one equalization operation is performed at the transmitter based on the one or more values for the one or more parameters.

A system, comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor for executing the instructions to:
• perform one or more stochastic gradient hill climbing operations on one or more parameters used to equalize a signal transmitted by a transmitter,
• determine that a metric associated with a frequency response to the signal at a receiver has reached a local maximum,
• determine, when the metric is at the local maximum, one or more values for the one or more parameters, and
• transmit, to the transmitter, the one or more values for the one or more parameters.
