Buyüzden çevrimsel ön takı uzunluğunun uygun bir şekilde belirlenmesi, sadecehata performansını artırmayacak aynı zamanda da sembol enerjisindeki azaltmalarıda engelleyecektir. Bu çalışmada çevrimsel ön takı uzunluklarının belirlenmesiiçin yeni bir meta-sezgisel algoritma olan ateş böceği algoritmasıönerilmiştir. Önerilen bu algoritmayı kullanarak, Genetik Algoritmalar ve 1/8oranlı çevrimsel ön takı kod uzunluklu sistemlere göre daha iyi bit hataoranları elde edilmiştir. Parametre sayısının az ve performansının GenetikAlgoritmalara göre yüksek olması nedeniyle bu algoritma çok taşıyıcılı kodbölmeli çoklu erişim sistemlerinde çevrimsel ön takı boyutlarının adaptifolarak belirlenmesinde kullanılabilir.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Cyclicprefix is utilized to prevent inter symbol interference and inter carrierinterference in multi carrier communication systems such as multi-carrier codedivision multiple access that provides high speed data transmission. Thereforedetermination of the cyclic prefix length properly, not only increases theerror performance but also prevents the reduction in symbol energy. In thiswork, the fire fly algorithm which is a new meta-heuristic algorithm, isproposed to determine the CP length. By using the proposed algorithm, thebetter bit error rate in comparison with Genetic Algorithms and 1/8 rate cyclicprefix systems was obtained. Due to the less parameters and high performance ofthis algorithm over Genetic Algorithms, it can be used in multi carrier codedivision multiplexing systems to determine the cyclic prefix length adaptively.</p></trans-abstract>
