Improved Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm Based on Fuzzy Control Rule Base

Manual construction of a rule base for a fuzzy system is the hard and time-consuming task that requires expert knowledge.In this paper we proposed a method based on improved bacterial foraging optimization（IBFO）,which simulates the foraging behavior of “E.coli” bacterium,to tune the Gaussian membership functions parameters of an improved Takagi-Sugeno-Kang fuzzy system（C-ITSKFS） rule base.To remove the defect of the low rate of convergence and prematurity,three modifications were produced to the standard bacterial foraging optimization（BFO）.As for the low accuracy of finding out all optimal solutions with multi-method functions,the IBFO was performed.In order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed IBFO,multiple comparisons were made among the BFO,particle swarm optimization（PSO）,and IBFO by MATLAB simulation.The simulation results show that the IBFO has a superior performance.

QBFO-BOMP Based Channel Estimation Algorithm for mmWave Massive MIMO Systems

At present,the traditional channel estimation algorithms have the disadvantages of over-reliance on initial conditions and high complexity.The bacterial foraging optimization(BFO)-based algorithm has been applied in wireless communication and signal processing because of its simple operation and strong self-organization ability.But the BFO-based algorithm is easy to fall into local optimum.Therefore,this paper proposes the quantum bacterial foraging optimization(QBFO)-binary orthogonal matching pursuit(BOMP)channel estimation algorithm to the problem of local optimization.Firstly,the binary matrix is constructed according to whether atoms are selected or not.And the support set of the sparse signal is recovered according to the BOMP-based algorithm.Then,the QBFO-based algorithm is used to obtain the estimated channel matrix.The optimization function of the least squares method is taken as the fitness function.Based on the communication between the quantum bacteria and the fitness function value,chemotaxis,reproduction and dispersion operations are carried out to update the bacteria position.Simulation results showthat compared with other algorithms,the estimationmechanism based onQBFOBOMP algorithm can effectively improve the channel estimation performance of millimeter wave(mmWave)massive multiple input multiple output(MIMO)systems.Meanwhile,the analysis of the time ratio shows that the quantization of the bacteria does not significantly increase the complexity.

An Efcient Genetic Hybrid PAPR Technique for 5G Waveforms

Non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA)is a strong contender multicarrier waveform technique for the fth generation(5G)communication system.The high peak-to-average power ratio(PAPR)is a serious concern in designing the NOMA waveform.However,the arrangement of NOMA is different from the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing.Thus,traditional reduction methods cannot be applied to NOMA.A partial transmission sequence(PTS)is commonly utilized to minimize the PAPR of the transmitting NOMA symbol.The choice phase aspect in the PTS is the only non-linear optimization obstacle that creates a huge computational complication due to the respective non-carrying sub-blocks in the unitary NOMA symbol.In this study,an efcient phase factor is proposed by presenting a novel bacterial foraging optimization algorithm(BFOA)for PTS(BFOA-PTS).The PAPR minimization is accomplished in a two-stage process.In the initial stage,PTS is applied to the NOMA signal,resulting in the partition of the NOMA signal into an act of sub-blocks.In the second stage,the best phase factor is generated using BFOA.The performance of the proposed BFOA-PTS is thoroughly investigated and compared to the traditional PTS.The simulation outcomes reveal that the BFOA-PTS efciently optimizes the PAPR performance with inconsequential complexity.The proposed method can signicantly offer a gain of 4.1 dB and low complexity compared with the traditional OFDM.

Histopathology is the investigation of tissues to identify the symptom of abnormality.The histopathological procedure comprises gathering samples of cells/tissues,setting them on the microscopic slides,and staining them.The investigation of the histopathological image is a problematic and laborious process that necessitates the expert’s knowledge.At the same time,deep learning(DL)techniques are able to derive features,extract data,and learn advanced abstract data representation.With this view,this paper presents an ensemble of handcrafted with deep learning enabled histopathological image classification(EHCDL-HIC)model.The proposed EHCDLHIC technique initially performs Weiner filtering based noise removal technique.Once the images get smoothened,an ensemble of deep features and local binary pattern(LBP)features are extracted.For the classification process,the bidirectional gated recurrent unit(BGRU)model can be employed.At the final stage,the bacterial foraging optimization(BFO)algorithm is utilized for optimal hyperparameter tuning process which leads to improved classification performance,shows the novelty of the work.For validating the enhanced execution of the proposed EHCDL-HIC method,a set of simulations is performed.The experimentation outcomes highlighted the betterment of the EHCDL-HIC approach over the existing techniques with maximum accuracy of 94.78%.Therefore,the EHCDL-HIC model can be applied as an effective approach for histopathological image classification.

A new dynamic bacterial foraging optimization and its application on model reduction

Inspired by the foraging behavior of E.coli bacteria,bacterial foraging optimization(BFO)has emerged as a powerful technique for solving optimization problems.However,BFO shows poor performance on complex and high-dimensional optimization problems.In order to improve the performance of BFO,a new dynamic bacterial foraging optimization based on clonal selection(DBFO-CS)is proposed.Instead of fixed step size in the chemotaxis operator,a new piecewise strategy adjusts the step size dynamically by regulatory factor in order to balance between exploration and exploitation during optimization process,which can improve convergence speed.Furthermore,reproduction operator based on clonal selection can add excellent genes to bacterial populations in order to improve bacterial natural selection and help good individuals to be protected,which can enhance convergence precision.Then,a set of benchmark functions have been used to test the proposed algorithm.The results show that DBFO-CS offers significant improvements than BFO on convergence,accuracy and robustness.A complex optimization problem of model reduction on stable and unstable linear systems based on DBFO-CS is presented.Results show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently approximate the systems.

Comparison of particle swarm and bacterial foraging optimization algorithms for therapy planning in HIV/AIDS patients

In HIV/AIDS patients, antiretroviral therapy （ART） is used for reducing the viral load and helps in increasing the life span of the individual. However, severe side effects are associated with the use of antiretroviral drugs. Hence, a treatment schedule, using minimal amount of drugs, is required for maintaining a low viral load and a healthy immune system. The objective of this work is to compute the optimal dosage of antiretroviral drugs for therapy planning in HIV/AIDS patients, using intelligent optimization techniques. In this work, two computational swarm intelligence techniques known as the particle swarm optimization （PSO） and bacterial foraging optimization （BFO） in conjunction with the three-dimensional mathematical model of HIV/AIDS have been used for estimating the optimal drug dosage for administering therapy by minimization of viral load as well as the total drug concentration. Results demonstrate that, using the proposed method, it is possible to achieve minimal viral load and an improved immune system, with the estimated drug dosage. Further, it was observed that the efficiency of BFO （CD4 cells = 757 cells/mm^3 at seventh year of infection） for estimation of optimal drug dosage is higher than the PSO method （CD4 cells = 817 cells/mm^3 at seventh year of infection）. This work seems to be of high clini- cal relevance since, at present, ART is the widely used procedure for treatment of HIV infected patients.
