Planning Capacity

Abstract In densely populated urban centers, planning optimized capacity for the fifth-generation (5G) and beyond wireless networks is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a mathematical framework for the planning capacity of a 5G and beyond wireless networks. We considered a single-hop wireless network consists of base stations (BSs), relay stations (RSs), and user equipment (UEs). Wireless network planning (WNP) should decide the placement of BSs and RSs to the candidate sites and decide the possible connections among them and their further connections to UEs. The objective of the planning is to minimize the hardware and operational cost while planning capacity of a 5G and beyond wireless networks. The formulated WNP is an integer programming problem. Finding an optimal solution by using exhaustive search is not practical due to the demand for high computing resources. As a practical approach, a new population-based meta-heuristic algorithm is proposed to find a high-quality solution. The proposed discrete fireworks algorithm (DFWA) uses an ensemble of local search methods: insert, swap, and interchange. The performance of the proposed DFWA is compared against the low-complexity biogeography-based optimization (LC-BBO), the discrete artificial bee colony (DABC), and the genetic algorithm (GA). Simulation results and statistical tests demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can comparatively find good-quality solutions with moderate computing resources.

Whale Optimization

We have compared the performances of six recently developed global optimization algorithms: imperialist competitive algorithm, firefly algorithm (FA), water cycle algorithm (WCA), whale optimization algorithm (WOA), fireworks algorithm (FWA), and quantum particle swarm optimization (QPSO). These methods have been introduced in the past few years and have found very limited or no applications to geophysical exploration problems thus far. We benchmark the algorithms’ results against the particle swarm optimization (PSO), which is a popular and well-established global search method. In particular, we are interested in assessing the exploration and exploitation capabilities of each method as the dimension of the model space increases. First, we test the different algorithms on two multiminima and two convex analytic objective functions. Then, we compare them using the residual statics corrections and 1D elastic full-waveform inversion, which are highly nonlinear geophysical optimization problems. Our results demonstrate that FA, FWA, and WOA are characterized by optimal exploration capabilities because they outperform the other approaches in the case of optimization problems with multiminima objective functions. Differently, QPSO and PSO have good exploitation capabilities because they easily solve ill-conditioned optimizations characterized by a nearly flat valley in the objective function. QPSO, PSO, and WCA offer a good compromise between exploitation and exploration.

Empirical Wavelet Transform

Shell vibration signals generated during grinding have useful information related to ball mill load, while usually contaminated by noises. It is a challenge to recognize load parameters with these signals. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed based on the improved empirical wavelet transform (EWT), refined composite multi-scale dispersion entropy (RCMDE) and fireworks algorithm (FWA) optimized SVM. Firstly, vibration signals are denoised by improved EWT, which uses cubic spline interpolation to calculate envelope spectrum for segmentation. Then, RCMDEs of the denoised signals are calculated as feature vectors. The vectors’ dimensionalities are reduced by principal component analysis (PCA). Finally, a mill load prediction model is established based on the FWA optimized SVM. The reduced feature vectors are fed to the model, thus material-to-ball ratio and filling rate being outputs. Grinding experiments show that the extracted features by RCMDE can effectively distinguish three load states. Meanwhile, experiments also show that FWA reduces the forecasting errors of material-to-balls ratio and filling rate by 1.9% and 2.9% compared with genetic algorithm (GA), as well as by 1.92% and 4.21% compared with particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. It demonstrates that the proposed approach for ball mill load forecasting has high accuracy and stability.
