Different scenario configurations have been investigated and different swarm initializations have been taken into account in order to properly evaluate the capabilities of the proposed optimization procedure to maximize the signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SINR). date: 2014 publisher: University of Trento referencetext: [1] P.
