This chapter presents a collective body of work aimed at investigating SMSE waveform design in a coexistent environment using optimization techniques that are commonly employed in the operations research field. For demonstration purposes, a Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) system in an AWGN channel provides the coexistent environment, and Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) optimization techniques are employed for SMSE waveform optimization.
