One of the challenges in LEO satellite networks is the development of specialized and efficient routing algorithms. To satisfy the QoS requirements of multimedia applications, satellite routing protocols should consider handovers and minimize their effect on the active connections. A distributed QoS routing scheme based on heuristic ant algorithm is proposed for satisfying delay bound and avoiding link congestion. Simulation results show that the call blocking probabilities of this al- gorithm are less than that of Shortest Path First (SPF) with different delay bound.展开更多

However, the unevendistribution of human population and data trafficon the ground incurs unbalanced traffic load inLEO satellite networks. To this end, we proposea load-balancing routing algorithm for LEO satellitenetworks based on ant colony optimization and reinforcementlearning. In the ant colony algorithm,we improve the pheromone update rule by introducingload-aware heuristic information, e.g., the currentnode transmission overhead, delay and load status, andreinforcement learning-based link quality evaluation.It enables the routing algorithm to select the lightlyloaded node as the next hop to balance the networkload. We simulate and verify the proposed algorithmusing the NS2 simulation platform, and the resultsshow that our algorithm improves the data delivery ratioand throughput while ensuring lower latency andtransmission overhead.展开更多

Firstly, uncertainties in spacecraft observation scheduling are analyzed. Then, considering the uncertainties with fuzzy features, this paper proposes a fuzzy neural network and a hybrid rescheduling policy to deal with them. It then establishes a mathematical model and manages to solve the rescheduling problem by proposing an ant colony algorithm, which introduces an adaptive control mechanism and takes advantage of the information in an existing schedule. Finally, the above method is applied to solve the rescheduling problem of a certain type of earth-observing satellite. The computation of the example shows that the approach is feasible and effective in dealing with uncertainties in spacecraft observation scheduling. The approach designed here can be useful in solving the problem that the original schedule is contaminated by disturbances.展开更多

However, there is a greater degree of uncertainty and complexity in information transmission of remanu?facturing service system, which leads to a critical need for designing planning models to deal with this added uncer?tainty and complexity.

Moreover, to further improve the operation e ciency of the algorithm, an improved ant colony?genetic algorithm(AC?GA) that combines the improved AC and genetic algorithm was developed. In addition, by taking the transmission of remanufacturing service demand information of certain roller as example, the e ectiveness of AC?GA algorithm was analyzed and compared with that of improved AC, and the results demonstrated that AC?GA algorithm was superior to AC algorithm in aspects of information transmission delay, information transmission cost, and rate of information loss.展开更多

摘要Support vehicles are part of the main body of airport ground operations,and their scheduling efficiency directly impacts flight delays.A mathematical model is constructed and the responsiveness of support vehicles for current operational demands is proposed to study optimization algorithms for vehicle scheduling.The model is based on the constraint relationship of the initial operation time,time window,and gate position distribution,which gives an improvement to the ant colony algorithm(ACO).The impacts of the improved ACO as used for support vehicle optimization are compared and analyzed.The results show that the scheduling scheme of refueling trucks based on the improved ACO can reduce flight delays caused by refueling operations by 56.87%,indicating the improved ACO can improve support vehicle scheduling.Besides,the improved ACO can jump out of local optima,which can balance the working time of refueling trucks.This research optimizes the scheduling scheme of support vehicles under the existing conditions of airports,which has practical significance to fully utilize ground service resources,improve the efficiency of airport ground operations,and effectively reduce flight delays caused by ground service support.

摘要Aimed at the problems of a traditional ant colony algorithm,such as the path search direction and field of view,an inability to find the shortest path,a propensity toward deadlock and an unsmooth path,an ant colony algorithm for use in a new environment is proposed.First,the feature points of an obstacle are extracted to preprocess the grid map environment,which can avoid entering a trap and solve the deadlock problem.Second,these feature points are used as pathfinding access nodes to reduce the node access,with more moving directions to be selected,and the locations of the feature points to be selected determine the range of the pathfinding field of view.Then,based on the feature points,an unequal distribution of pheromones and a two-way parallel path search are used to improve the construction efficiency of the solution,an improved heuristic function is used to enhance the guiding role of the path search,and the pheromone volatilization coefficient is dynamically adjusted to avoid a premature convergence of the algorithm.Third,a Bezier curve is used to smooth the shortest path obtained.Finally,using grid maps with a different complexity and different scales,a simulation comparing the results of the proposed algorithm with those of traditional and other improved ant colony algorithms verifies its feasibility and superiority.
摘要A novel method of global optimal path planning for mobile robot was proposed based on the improved Dijkstra algorithm and ant system algorithm. This method includes three steps: the first step is adopting the MAKLINK graph theory to establish the free space model of the mobile robot, the second step is adopting the improved Dijkstra algorithm to find out a sub-optimal collision-free path, and the third step is using the ant system algorithm to adjust and optimize the location of the sub-optimal path so as to generate the global optimal path for the mobile robot. The computer simulation experiment was carried out and the results show that this method is correct and effective. The comparison of the results confirms that the proposed method is better than the hybrid genetic algorithm in the global optimal path planning.
摘要To obtain accurate search results and advocate the use of human effort in discovering knowledge,we propose a method based on Ant Colony Algorithm(ACA).The proposed method simulates the behavior of ants searching for food.Specific features such as the behavior of ants searching for food,their established search paths,and the ant"neighborhood"profile are investigated.The investigation results reveal that the behavior of people searching for useful information resembles that of ants searching for food.We also use semantic annotation and the decreasing matrix dimension approach to accelerate the food searching process an.d shorten the distance between the query starting points and the ultimate answers.A user behavior model is constructed based on personal and domain ontologies.Experimental evaluation with the enhanced ACA has two parts:(1)estimating the efficiency of information retrieval with user interests considered and(2)identifying how to weigh usage and rate user data during recommendation.
摘要The ant system algorithm(ASA)has proved to be a novel meta-heuristic algorithm to solve many multivariable problems.In this paper,the earth coverage of satellite constellation is analyzed and a n+1^-fold coverage rate is put forward to evaluate the coverage performance of a satellite constellation.An optimization model of constellation parameters is established on the basis of the coverage performance.As a newly developed method,ASA can be applied to optimize the constellation parameters.In order to improve the ASA,a rule for adaptive number of ants is proposed,by which the search range is obviously enlarged and the convergence speed increased.Simulation results have shown that the ASA is more quick and efficient than other methodV211.71s.
