Multi-constraints QoS routing optimization based on improved immune clonal shuffled frog leaping algorithm by Yi LU, Mengying XU, Jie ZHOU

“…Aiming at the multi-constraint routing problem,a mathematical model was designed,and an improved immune clonal shuffled frog leaping algorithm (IICSFLA) was proposed,which combined immune operator with traditional SFLA.Under the constraints of bandwidth,delay,packet loss rate,delay jitter and energy cost,total energy cost from the source node to the terminal node was computed.The proposed algorithm was used to find an optimal route with minimum energy cost.In the simulation,the performance of IICSFLA with adaptive genetic algorithm and adaptive ant colony optimization algorithm was compared.Experimental results show that IICSFLA solves the problem of multi-constraints QoS unicast routing optimization.The proposed algorithm avoids local optimum and effectively reduces energy loss of data on the transmission path in comparison with adaptive genetic algorithm and adaptive ant colony optimization algorithm.…”

Path planning algorithm for WCE with joint energy replenishment and data collection based on multi-objective optimization by Zhenchun WEI, Renhao SUN, Zengwei LYU, Jianghong HAN, Lei SHI, Junyi XU

“…Considering limited energy of the wireless charging equipment (WCE) in wireless rechargeable sensor network,an energy replenishment strategy and a data collection strategy are designed.On the basis of these,a path planning model for WCE with functions of joint energy replenishment and data collection based on multi-objective optimization is constructed with two optimization objectives,maximizing the total energy utility of WCE and minimizing the average delay of data transmission of all the sensor nodes in the network.To deal with it,a multi-objective ant colony optimization algorithm based on elitist strategy was proposed,where the state transition strategy and the pheromone updating strategy were improved.Then,the Pareto set was obtained in terms of this multi-objective optimization problem.The parameter setting of ant colony algorithm’s effects on the proposed algorithm were analyzed under 20 sensor nodes.50 groups of contrastive experiments show that the average number of energy utilization obtained by ES-MOAC algorithm is 4.53% higher than that of NSGA-II algorithm.The average number of average delay of all node data transmission obtained by ES-MOAC algorithm is 5.12% lower than that of NSGA-II algorithm.…”
