Abstract The optimization of cognitive radio (CR) system using an enhanced firefly algorithm (EFA) is presented in this work. The Firefly algorithm (FA) is a nature-inspired algorithm based on the unique light-flashing behavior of fireflies. It has already proved its competence in various optimization problems, but it suffers from slow convergence issues. To improve the convergence performance of FA, a new variant named EFA is proposed. The effectiveness of EFA as a good optimizer is demonstrated by optimizing benchmark functions, and simulation results show its superior performance compared to biogeography-based optimization (BBO), bat algorithm, artificial bee colony, and FA.

Abstract A SCMA ACO-OFDM downlink visible light communication (VLC) system is proposed. Six users share four spectrum resources, four of which are 4 primary color LED lights. ACO-OFDM technology is used to convert the user’s sparse codebook mapped signal into a positive real value signal that can be carried on the light wave, which can realize high-speed parallel communication. Simulation verifies the feasibility of the system. At the same time, the channel model of visible light communication is constructed, and the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) and channel gain of the visible light channel are systematically analyzed. Finally, the theoretical bit error rate formula… More >

Abstract In order to accurately obtain the wax deposition rate model, according to the kinetic principle of wax deposition, several factors affecting the wax deposition rate were selected, and by a optimization software of First Optimization(1stOpt), The parameters of two typical wax deposition rate models are solved respectively based on optimization algorithm combined by Levenberg-Marquardt (L-M) algorithm and global optimization and the calculated data were compared. The results show that: compared with the model parameters obtained by least squares method, the model parameters obtained by this optimization algorithm can describe the variation of wax deposition rate more accurately. The maximum error… More >

Abstract AI-related research is conducted in various ways, but the reliability of AI prediction results is currently insufficient, so expert decisions are indispensable for tasks that require essential decision-making. XAI (eXplainable AI) is studied to improve the reliability of AI. However, each XAI methodology shows different results in the same data set and exact model. This means that XAI results must be given meaning, and a lot of noise value emerges. This paper proposes the HFD (Hybrid Feature Dropout)-based XAI and evaluation methodology. The proposed XAI methodology can mitigate shortcomings, such as incorrect feature weights and impractical feature selection. There are… More >

Abstract In heating, Wet-bulb temperature in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) applications is crucial for building the equipment. But radiation from the surrounding surfaces caused the errors during the thermodynamic wet-bulb temperature measurement. The wet-bulb temperature of moist air is measured in the current work utilising an aspiration psychrometer designed, developed, and built to reduce the error term caused by radiation and convection heat transfer. Wet-bulb temperature is calculated in the experiments using an aspiration psychrometer at various locations throughout the year, both with and without a shield. It has been found that the error term depends on several factors,… More >

Abstract Slope stability prediction plays a significant role in landslide disaster prevention and mitigation. This paper’s reduced error pruning (REP) tree and random tree (RT) models are developed for slope stability evaluation and meeting the high precision and rapidity requirements in slope engineering. The data set of this study includes five parameters, namely slope height, slope angle, cohesion, internal friction angle, and peak ground acceleration. The available data is split into two categories: training (75%) and test (25%) sets. The output of the RT and REP tree models is evaluated using performance measures including accuracy (Acc), Matthews correlation coefficient (Mcc), precision… More >

Abstract In recent years, real-time video streaming has grown in popularity. The growing popularity of the Internet of Things (IoT) and other wireless heterogeneous networks mandates that network resources be carefully apportioned among versatile users in order to achieve the best Quality of Experience (QoE) and performance objectives. Most researchers focused on Forward Error Correction (FEC) techniques when attempting to strike a balance between QoE and performance. However, as network capacity increases, the performance degrades, impacting the live visual experience. Recently, Deep Learning (DL) algorithms have been successfully integrated with FEC to stream videos across multiple heterogeneous networks. But these algorithms… More >

Abstract For fuzzy systems to be implemented effectively, the fuzzy membership function (MF) is essential. A fuzzy system (FS) that implements precise input and output MFs is presented to enhance the performance and accuracy of single-input single-output (SISO) FSs and introduce the most applicable input and output MFs protocol to linearize the fuzzy system’s output. Utilizing a variety of non-linear techniques, a SISO FS is simulated. The results of FS experiments conducted in comparable conditions are then compared. The simulated results and the results of the experimental setup agree fairly well. The findings of the suggested model demonstrate that the relative… More >

Abstract Many extensive UAV communication networks have used UAV cooperative control. Wireless networking services can be offered using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as aerial base stations. Not only is coverage maximization, but also better connectivity, a fundamental design challenge that must be solved. The number of applications for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating in unlicensed bands is fast expanding as the Internet of Things (IoT) develops. Those bands, however, have become overcrowded as the number of systems that use them grows. Cognitive Radio (CR) and spectrum allocation approaches have emerged as a potential approach for resolving spectrum scarcity in wireless networks,… More >

Abstract There are numerous goals in next-generation cellular networks (5G), which is expected to be available soon. They want to increase data rates, reduce end-to-end latencies, and improve end-user service quality. Modern networks need to change because there has been a significant rise in the number of base stations required to meet these needs and put the operators’ low-cost constraints to the test. Because it can withstand interference from other wireless networks, and Adaptive Complex Multicarrier Modulation (ACMM) system is being looked at as a possible choice for the 5th Generation (5G) of wireless networks. Many arithmetic units need to be… More >
