This study investigates the performances of cooperative pattern division multiple access (PDMA) technology with a half-duplex amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying over Rayleigh fading channels. To characterise the performances of the AF-PDMA system, the closed-form expressions of the exact outage probabilities, system throughput and diversity order are derived, respectively. The particle swarm optimisation algorithm based on penalty function is used to obtain the optimum power allocation coefficients by maximising the system throughput. By setting different values on the target data rate for users to analyse the AF-PDMA system throughput performance, simulation results demonstrate the performance enhancement of the considered AF-PDMA compared with orthogonal multiple access with AF relaying and PDMA with decode-and-forward relaying.

Accurate forecasting of electricity market prices presents important information to market participants. This provides forward planning of their bidding strategies in order to maximise revenue, profit, and utility perspectives. Nevertheless, due to the non-stationarities involved in market clearing price, an accurate forecasting of these prices is very complex. In this case, transformation from traditional point forecasts to probabilistic interval ones is of great importance to quantify the uncertainties of potential forecasts. In this study, interval forecasting of market clearing prices is conducted based on a novel approach within two consecutive steps. In the first step, a new hybrid method is proposed to estimate point forecasts: combination of wavelet transformation (Wt), feature selection based on Mutual Information (MI), extreme learning machine (ELM), and bootstrap approaches in an ensemble structure is employed. The second step consists of the following stepwise parts: calculating the variance of the model uncertainties based on the extracted data from the ensemble structure, estimating the noise variance by using the maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE), and improving the accuracy of interval forecasting by using particleswarmoptimisation (PSO) algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed approach termed as Wt-mutual information-ELM-MLE-PSO is validated through electricity market real data of Australian electricity network from real-time and day-ahead market viewpoints.

A new content-based image retrieval (CBIR) scheme is proposed based on the optimised combination of the colour and texture features to enhance the image retrieval precision. This work focuses on a uniform partitioning scheme which is applied in the Hue, Saturation and Value (HSV) colour space to extract dominant colour descriptor (DCD) features. In the proposed CBIR scheme, the DCD features are initially extracted as the colour features, and then an appropriate similarity measure is applied. Also, several wavelet and curvelet features are defined as texture features to overcome the noise and the problem of image translation. Finally, the colour and texture features are optimally combined by using the particle swarm optimisation algorithm. The findings show that not only the proposed colour, wavelet and curvelet features outperform the existing ones but also their optimum combination has a better accuracy in comparison with several contemporary CBIR systems. The performance analysis shows that the proposed method improves the average precision metric from 67.85 to 71.05% for DCD, 58.90 to 65.43% for wavelet and 53.18 to 56.00% for curvelet using Corel dataset. In addition, the optimum combination presents the average precision of %76.50 which is significantly higher than the other state-of-the-art methods.

The coupled tank system (comprising two tanks) is used in the chemical industries, water treatment plants etc. Level control of the coupled tank system is a common problem in the process control industry. This work proposes a fractional order internal model controller (FOIMC) with a higher order fractional filter for the level control of the coupled tank system. A first order plus delay time (FOPDT) model of the system is used in the controller design. FOIMC has advantages like robustness to changes in the system gain and extended stability margins. The proposed higher order fractional filter makes the controller physically realizable and quickly roll off the magnitude Bode plot, neglecting the high frequency noise. The particleswarmoptimisation (PSO) algorithm is a swarm intelligence based algorithm used for the optimisation problems. The parameters of the FOIMC are optimized with the PSO algorithm by minimizing an objective function constructed using time domain specifications. The novel objective function includes weighted peak overshoot, settling time, and integral square error. A MATLAB (MathWorks, Inc., Natick, MA, USA) based tool, fractional order modelling and control (FOMCON) is used to simulate the fractional order controller. Performance of the proposed FOIMC is compared with two state of the art. Robustness to change in the operating point (tank height) is verified. The proposed FOIMC and the state of the art controllers are implemented on the laboratory setup, and the experimental results are compared.

To solve the problems of low accuracy and recall rate, as well as long classification mining time in traditional methods, a university mental health education resource data classification mining method based on global search algorithm is proposed. Collect data on university mental health education resources, identify abnormal data using isolated forests and perform correction processing. Extract resource data features using Fisher discriminant criteria and select data features. Build a data classification mining model for university mental health education resources, and use the particle swarm optimisation algorithm in the global search algorithm to construct an optimisation objective function for classification mining. Input the data to be processed into the optimised model to obtain relevant classification mining results. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a mean classification mining accuracy of 98.1%, a mean recall rate of 97.3% and a classification mining time of less than 1.28 s.

Achieving minimum execution time for any application with better resource utilisation is a major challenge in heterogeneous distributed systems. But the performance can be exploited in these systems through proper scheduling of application tasks. An efficient meta-heuristic algorithm called firefly algorithm is applied in this paper to solve static task scheduling problem in heterogeneous systems. The social behaviour of fireflies is mimicked to generate optimal task schedule length. The efficiency of the firefly-based task scheduling algorithm is compared with the existing particleswarmoptimisation-based scheduling algorithm. The experimental results show that the firefly algorithm-based approach gives better results when compared to PSO algorithm and performs well with minimum processors for effective scheduling of tasks.

The change law of ideal transmission ratio with vehicle speed and hand-wheel angle is studied based on constant gain of steady-state vehicle system. It is used to resolve the conflict between steering sensitivity at the low-speed segment and steering stability at the high-speed segment for the traditional vehicle. For preventing the sudden change of hand-wheel torque caused by the transmission ratio change, the ideal variable transmission ratio (VTR) law is fitted by the improved S-type function and optimised by particleswarmoptimisation (PSO) algorithm. For improving driving stability of vehicle, the stability control strategy based on linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is studied based on the optimised ideal variable transmission ratio control law. The front wheel angle is decided by the vehicle stability control strategy, and then the active front wheel steering (AFS) motor angle is obtained by the AFS calculation module to realise the AFS control. The closed-loop driver-vehicle system is established. This system includes driver model, the vehicle dynamic model, AFS model and so on. The results indicate that the performance of the proposed controller is good in the front wheel steering angle control for the better tracking to desired vehicle state.

In order to improve the precision and sensitivity of traditional unsupervised clustering algorithms, an unsupervised clustering algorithm based on density peak optimisation is proposed. K-nearest neighbour is used to set a new method to measure the sample density and sample distance. The selected sample is the initial cluster centre, and the number of clusters is automatically determined. The improved K-means algorithm and particle swarm optimisation algorithm are introduced to optimise the convergence process of the algorithm. Experimental results show that compared with the traditional algorithm, the clustering accuracy of the proposed algorithm can be stable at 95-100%, and the sensitivity of the algorithm is also relatively ideal. With the increase in the number of data genes, the sensitivity is always above 95%. The running time is about 0.2 min, and the data show that the proposed algorithm meets the requirements of the current application field.

In order to overcome the problems of high data noise, low prediction accuracy and long prediction time in the traditional short-term prediction method of lighting energy consumption of large buildings, a short-term prediction method of lighting energy consumption of large buildings based on time series analysis is proposed in this paper. The improved threshold function is used to denoise the data, and the fuzzy c-means clustering algorithm is used to cluster the denoised data. The time series analysis method is used to construct the self-excitation threshold autoregressive model. When the model parameters are optimal, the clustered data are input into the model to output the short-term prediction results of lighting energy consumption of large buildings. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional method, the average data noise of this method is 12.3 dB, the prediction accuracy remains above 94% and the average prediction time is only 57 ms.

Addressing the need for exploration of benthic zones utilising autonomous underwater vehicles, this paper presents a simulation for an optimised path planning from the source node to the destination node of the autonomous underwater vehicle SLOCUM Glider in near-bottom ocean environment. Near-bottom ocean current data from the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Canada, have been used for this simulation. A cost function is formulated to describe the dynamics of the autonomous underwater vehicle in near-bottom ocean currents. This cost function is then optimised using various biologically-inspired algorithms such as genetic algorithm, Ant Colony optimisationalgorithm and particle swarm optimisation algorithm. The simulation of path planning is also performed using Q-learning technique and the results are compared with the biologically-inspired algorithms. The results clearly show that the Q-learning algorithm is better in computational complexity than the biologically-inspired algorithms. The ease of simulating the environment is also more in the case of Q-learning techniques. Hence this paper presents an effective path planning technique, which has been tested for the SLOCUM glider and it may be extended for use in any standard autonomous underwater vehicle.
