Accordingly the performance of users far away from the BS is poor in general. This renders the fairness among users a challenging issue for maritime communications. In this paper, we consider a practical massive MIMO maritime BS with hybrid digital and analog precoding. Only the large-scale channel state information at the transmitter(CSIT) is considered so as to reduce the implementation complexity and overhead of the system. On this basis, we address the problem of fairness-oriented precoding design. A max-min optimization problem is formulated and solved in an iterative way. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme performs much better than conventional hybrid precoding algorithms in terms of minimum achievable rate of all the users, for the typical three-ray maritime channel model.展开更多

Firstly, the working principle of parallel dispensers is introduced, which implies the time cost of picking each order is influenced by the order-picking sequence. So the order-picking optimization problem can be classified as a dynamic traveling salesman problem （TSP）. Then a mathematical model of the problem is established and an improved max-min ant system （MMAS） is adopted to solve the model. The improvement includes two aspects. One is that the initial assignment of ants depends on a probabilistic formula instead of a random deployment; the other is that the heuristic factor is expressed by the extra picking time of each order instead of the total. At last, an actual simulation is made on an automated picking system with parallel dispensers. The simulation results proved the optimization value and the validity of improvement on MMAS.展开更多

A new implementation of the homotopy perturbation method （HPM） and an ancient Chinese method called the max-rain approach are presented to obtain an approximate solution. The major concern is to assess the accuracy of these approximate methods in predicting the system response within a certain range of system parameters by examining their ability to establish an actual （numerical） solution. Therefore, the analytical results are compared with the numerical results to illustrate the effectiveness and convenience of the proposed methods.展开更多

Our approach focuses on energy efficient unequal clustering scheme and inter-cluster routing protocol. On the one hand, considering each node＇s local information such as energy level, distance to base station and local density, we use fuzzy logic system to determine one node＇s chance of becoming cluster head and hand, adaptive max-min ant colony optimization is used to estimate the corresponding competence radius. On the other construct energy-aware inter-cluster routing between cluster heads and base station （BS）, which balances the energy consumption of cluster heads and alleviates the hot spots problem that occurs in multi-hop WSN routing protocol to a large extent. The confirmation experiment results have indicated the proposed clustering algorithm has more superior performance than other methods such as low energy adaptive clustering hierarchy （LEACH） and energy efficient unequal clustering （EEUC）.展开更多

The max-min approach can formulate the problem as an integer linear programming problem instead of an integer nonlinear problem. This paper presents a comparison between those methods from the standpoint of solution quality and computational complexity. The experimental results show that the max-min approach is superior to the Nakagawa and Nakashima method in terms of solution quality in small-scale problems, but analysis of computational complexity shows that the max-min approach is inferior to other greedy heuristics.展开更多
