A Novel Improved Artificial Bee Colony and Blockchain-Based Secure Clustering Routing Scheme for FANET

Flying Ad hoc Network(FANET)has drawn significant consideration due to its rapid advancements and extensive use in civil applications.However,the characteristics of FANET including high mobility,limited resources,and distributed nature,have posed a new challenge to develop a secure and ef-ficient routing scheme for FANET.To overcome these challenges,this paper proposes a novel cluster based secure routing scheme,which aims to solve the routing and data security problem of FANET.In this scheme,the optimal cluster head selection is based on residual energy,online time,reputation,blockchain transactions,mobility,and connectivity by using Improved Artificial Bee Colony Optimization(IABC).The proposed IABC utilizes two different search equations for employee bee and onlooker bee to enhance convergence rate and exploitation abilities.Further,a lightweight blockchain consensus algorithm,AI-Proof of Witness Consensus Algorithm(AI-PoWCA)is proposed,which utilizes the optimal cluster head for mining.In AI-PoWCA,the concept of the witness for block verification is also involved to make the proposed scheme resource efficient and highly resilient against 51%attack.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme outperforms its counterparts and achieves up to 90%packet delivery ratio,lowest end-to-end delay,highest throughput,resilience against security attacks,and superior in block processing time.

An improved bearing fault detection strategy based on artificial bee colony algorithm

The operating state of bearing affects the performance of rotating machinery;thus,how to accurately extract features from the original vibration signals and recognise the faulty parts as early as possible is very critical.In this study,the one‐dimensional ternary model which has been proved to be an effective statistical method in feature selection is introduced and shapelet transformation is proposed to calculate the parameter of one‐dimensional ternary model that is usually selected by trial and error.Then XGBoost is used to recognise the faults from the obtained features,and artificial bee colony algorithm(ABC)is introduced to optimise the parameters of XGBoost.Moreover,for improving the performance of intelligent algorithm,an improved strategy where the evolution is guided by the probability that the optimal solution appears in certain solution space is proposed.The experimental results based on the failure vibration signal samples show that the average accuracy of fault signal recognition can reach 97%,which is much higher than the ones corresponding to traditional extraction strategies.And with the help of improved ABC algorithm,the performance of XGBoost classifier could be optimised;the accuracy could be improved from 97.02%to 98.60%compared with the traditional classification strategy.

In order to overcome the poor generalization ability and low accuracy of traditional network traffic prediction methods, a prediction method based on improved artificial bee colony （ABC） algorithm optimized error minimized extreme learning machine （EM-ELM） is proposed. EM-ELM has good generalization ability. But many useless neurons in EM-ELM have little influences on the final network output, and reduce the efficiency of the algorithm. Based on the EM-ELM, an improved ABC algorithm is introduced to optimize the parameters of the hidden layer nodes, decrease the number of useless neurons. Network complexity is reduced. The efficiency of the algorithm is improved. The stability and convergence property of the proposed prediction method are proved. The proposed prediction method is used in the prediction of network traffic. In the simulation, the actual collected network traffic is used as the research object. Compared with other prediction methods, the simulation results show that the proposed prediction method reduces the training time of the prediction model, decreases the number of hidden layer nodes. The proposed prediction method has higher prediction accuracy and reliable performance. At the same time, the performance indicators are improved.
