Radio Access Network (RAN) disaggregation allows operators to mix-and-match multivendor components and bring RAN services from one end to the other. Despite this goal, issues of resource misuse or performance undershoot may arise because of inflexible RAN function deployment and uncoordinated decision-making across different network segments. To address these issues, this paper considers full flexibility in the synthesis of end-to-end RAN services from a set of disaggregated and uncoordinated components. In particular, five design factors are jointly considered to maximize the overall network spectral efficiency: (1) User association, (2) Remote radio unit clustering, (3) RAN functional split, (4) Fronthaul network routing, and (5) Baseband unit placement. To efficiently deal with the formulated problem, we propose a two-level turbo-based solution and compare its performance with several related works. The simulation results show that our proposed solution can not only achieve a 1.33-times spectral efficiency gain compared with state-of-the-art methods, but also provides 1.27 and 1.74 multiplexing benefits for computing and networking resources, respectively.

The original problem of group testing consists in the identification of defective items in a collection, by applying tests on groups of items that detect the presence of at least one defective element in the group. The aim is then to identify all defective items of the collection with as few tests as possible. This problem is relevant in several fields, among which biology and computer sciences. In the present article we consider that the tests applied to groups of items returns a load, measuring how defective the most defective item of the group is. In this setting, we propose a simple non-adaptative algorithm allowing the detection of all defective items of the collection. Items are put on an n x n grid and pools are organised as lines, columns and diagonals of this grid. This method improves on classical group testing algorithms using only the binary response of the test. Group testing recently gained attraction as a potential tool to solve a shortage of COVID-19 test kits, in particular for RT-qPCR. These tests return the viral load of the sample and the viral load varies greatly among individuals. Therefore our model presents some of the key features of this problem. We aim at using the extra piece of information that represents the viral load to construct a one-stage pool testing algorithm on this idealized version. We show that under the right conditions, the total number of tests needed to detect contaminated samples can be drastically diminished.

Nowadays, integration of renewable energy source like solar, wind etc in the grid is encouraged to reduce the losses and meet the demand. However, the integration of these renewable sources, power electronic devices, non-linear and un-balanced loads leads to the power quality issues this motivated power researchers for the development of new controllers and techniques. This paper develops a soccer-league algorithm based optimal tuned hybrid controller for the unified power quality conditioner associated with the solar power and battery-storage systems with the Boost converter and Buck Boost converter. The UPQC simultaneously performs both the functions of Shunt active power filter and series active power filter. The proposed optimally designed controller adapts both the properties of fuzzy logic-controller and SOL algorithm tuned proportional-integral controllers. The Kp, Ki values of shunt and series controllers are treated as control variables, which are optimally tuned by SOL to satisfy the objective function. The key contributions of the proposed work are the reduction of total harmonics in current waveforms thereby enhancing the power factor, quick action to maintain the constant DC-Link capacitor voltage during the solar irradiation variations, elimination of voltage sag/swell/large disturbance, and appropriate compensation for the un-balanced networks and loads. The performance investigation of SLOHC was carried-out with four test studies for different combinations of unbalanced/balanced loads and supply voltage of 3-phase distribution network. Comparative analysis was carried out with those of standard methods like a genetic algorithm, biogeography-based optimization, and proportional-integral controllers. The proposed method reduces the total harmonic distortion to 2.06%, 2.44%, 2.40%, and 2.32% which are much lower than those of existing methods available in literature. The design has been performed on MATLAB/simulink software.

In the last couple of decades, multicarrier modulations have witnessed a considerable interest in wireless communication networks due to their ability to fight against multipath fading and offer multiple access with flexible resource sharing. One of the well known multicarrier modulation systems is filter-bank multi-carrier with an offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC/OQAM), which was proposed as a powerful solution during the standardization of 5G. In this paper, we derive a closed-form expression of the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) for FBMC/OQAM systems in the discrete-time context, for arbitrary wide sense stationary uncorrelated scattering (WSSUS) channels as well as transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) waveforms. We quantify the potential gains in SINR brought by FBMC/OQAM, which exclusively operates on critical lattice density, with respect to FBMC/QAM, which have the flexibility to operate on critical or non-critical lattice densities. For completeness, we compare the performance of FBMC/OQAM in the discrete-time context, sweeping the discrete space of waveforms supports, with that of FBMC/OQAM in the continuous-time context, using the Hermite functions, and show how they perform similarly. Simulation results prove that FBMC/OQAM optimization algorithm, performing with the ping-pong optimized pulse shaping (POPS) paradigm, converges rapidly to excellent SINR values, even with small supports durations, in discrete-time context, which is equivalent to a reduced number of Hermite functions, in the continuous-time context.

Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is a meta-heuristic algorithm inspired by the foraging behavior of birds, which has received a lot of attention from many scholars because of its simple principle and fast convergence rate. However, the traditional particle update mechanism limits the performance of the algorithm and makes it easy to fall into local extremums, leading to a reduced convergence rate at a later stage. In this paper, we propose a Multi-Mechanism Particle Swarm Optimization (HGSPSO) algorithm. The algorithm optimizes the position update formula of the particles by the Hunger Game Search (HGS) algorithm to accelerate the convergence speed at the later stage of the algorithm, and then the Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is introduced to dynamically update the inertia weights to balance the exploration and utilization of the algorithm to help the particles jump out of the local extrema. In addition, the double variational restrictions strategy is used to simultaneously restrict the velocity and position of the particles to avoid particle transgressions. We tested the proposed algorithm with five compare algorithms on 20 benchmark functions in 30, 50, 100, and 1000 dimensions using Eclipse Kepler Release software. The experimental results show that HGSPSO shows significant superiority in all four evaluation metrics and five assessment schemes.

Phylogenetic networks are increasingly being considered as better suited to represent the complexity of the evolutionary relationships between species. One class of phylogenetic networks that has received a lot of attention recently is the class of orchard networks, which is composed of networks that can be reduced to a single leaf using cherry reductions. Cherry reductions, also called cherry-picking operations, remove either a leaf of a simple cherry (sibling leaves sharing a parent) or a reticulate edge of a reticulate cherry (two leaves whose parents are connected by a reticulate edge). In this paper, we present a fixed-parameter tractable algorithm to solve the problem of finding a maximum agreement cherry-reduced subnetwork (MACRS) between two rooted binary level-1 networks. This is the first exact algorithm proposed to solve the MACRS problem. As proven in earlier work, there is a direct relationship between finding an MACRS and calculating a distance based on cherry operations. As a result, the proposed algorithm also provides a distance that can be used for the comparison of level-1 networks. Supplementary material for this paper can be found on ***.

The 17 papers in this special section focus on resilience in networked robotic systems. This collection of articles aims to provide a deeper understanding of resilience as it pertains to multirobot systems, and to disseminate the current advances in designing and operating networked robotic systems. We understand resilience to be a characteristic that enables amultirobot system to withstand or overcome unexpected adverse conditions or shocks, and unknown, unmodeled disturbances. It refers to the contingent nature of the robots’ behaviors that is aimed at preserving their functionality or minimizing the time periods during which their functionality is compromised. The papers explore new algorithmic and mathematical foundations toward resilience.

An experimental study was performed where deterministic parameter control is applied to the crossover and mutation ratios of the Grouping Genetic algorithm with Controlled Gene Transmission (GGA-CGT) considering several control functions with different characteristics in order to solve the off-line One-Dimensional Bin Packing Problem (1-D BPP). Such control is mainly based on sinusoidal behavior to allow the algorithm to experience small variations in the parameter to control, and another control scheme based on the same sinusoidal behavior was designed to experiment smaller and larger parameter stepsize values even in the last stages of the run. An additional form of control is also included based on linear growth. The obtained performance is compared against the tuned version of the algorithm. Obtained results show that the GGA-CGT could benefit from the sinusoidal control scheme under small variations for the crossover ratio and from the linear control scheme for the mutation ratio. Lastly, the control schemes that showed the best results were tested in the Grouping Genetic algorithm with Intelligent Heuristic Strategies (GGA-IHS) designed to solve the Parallel-machine scheduling problem with unrelated machines and makespan minimization (R||C-max) showing promising results.

Mathematical programs with complementarity constraints are notoriously difficult to solve due to their nonconvexity and lack of constraint qualifications in every feasible point. This letter focuses on the subclass of quadratic programs with linear complementarity constraints. A novel approach to solving a penalty reformulation using sequential convex programming and a homotopy on the penalty parameter is introduced. Linearizing the necessarily nonconvex penalty function yields convex quadratic subproblems, which have a constant Hessian matrix throughout all iterates. This allows solution computation with a single KKT matrix factorization. Furthermore, a globalization scheme is introduced in which the underlying merit function is minimized analytically, and guarantee of descent is provided at each iterate. The algorithmic features and possible computational speedups are illustrated in a numerical experiment.

Earth system models (ESM) demand significant hardware resources and energy consumption to solve atmospheric chemistry processes. Recent studies have shown improved performance from running these models on GPU accelerators. Nonetheless, there is room for improvement in exploiting even more GPU resources. This study proposes an optimized distribution of the chemical solver's computational load on the GPU, named Block-cells. Additionally, we evaluate different configurations for distributing the computational load in an NVIDIA GPU. We use the linear solver from the Chemistry Across Multiple Phases (CAMP) framework as our test bed. An intermediate-complexity chemical mechanism under typical atmospheric conditions is used. Results demonstrate a 35x speedup compared to the single-CPU thread reference case. Even using the full resources of the node (40 physical cores) on the reference case, the Block-cells version outperforms them by 50%. The Block-cells approach shows promise in alleviating the computational burden of chemical solvers on GPU architectures.
