Abstract

In recent years, evolutionary and metaheuristic algorithms have emerged as crucial tools for optimization in the field of artificial intelligence. These algorithms have the potential to revolutionize various aspects of our lives by leveraging the multidisciplinary nature of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). This study aims to introduce genetic and simulated annealing algorithms as effective solutions for enhancing WSN performance. Our contribution entails two main phases. Firstly, we establish mathematical models and formulate objectives as a nonlinear constrained optimization problem. Secondly, we develop two algorithmic solutions to address the formulated optimization problem. The obtained results from multiple simulations demonstrate the positive impact of the proposed strategies on improving network performance in terms of energy consumption.

Abstract

The proliferation of smart devices and the increasing demand for resource-intensive applications present significant challenges in terms of computational efficiency, leading to surge in data traffic. While cloud computing offers partial solutions, its centralized architecture raises concerns about latency. Multi-access edge computing (MEC) emerges as promising alternative by deploying servers at the network edge to bring computations closer to user devices. However, optimizing computation offloading in the dynamic MEC environment remains a complex challenge. This paper introduces novel genetic algorithm-based approach for efficient computation offloading in MEC, considering processing and transmission delays, user preferences, and system constraints. The proposed approach integrates computation offloading and resource allocation algorithm based on evolutionary principles, combined with a greedy strategy to maximize overall system performance. By utilizing genetic algorithms, the proposed method enables dynamic adaptation to changing conditions, eliminating the need for intricate mathematical models and providing an appealing solution to the complexities inherent in MEC. The urgency of this research arises from the critical need to enhance mobile application performance. Simulation results demonstrate the robustness and efficacy of our approach in achieving near-optimal solutions while efficiently balancing computation offloading, minimizing latency, and maximizing resource utilization. Our approach offers flexibility and adaptability, contributing to advancement of MEC networks and addressing the requirements of latency-sensitive applications.

Abstract

In the last decade, the research community has devoted significant attention to wireless sensor networks (WSNs) because they contribute positively to some critical issues encountered in nature and even in industry. On the other hand, localization is one of the most important parts of WSN. Hence, the conception of an efficient method of localization has become a hot research topic. Lastly, it has been invented, a set of optimal positioning methods that make locate a node with low cost and give precise results. In our contribution, we investigate the source of imprecision in the distance vectorhop (DVHOP) localization algorithm. However, we found the last step of DVHOP caused an imprecision in the calculation. Consequently, our work was to replace this step, aiming to reach satisfactory precision. For that purpose, we created three improved versions of this algorithm by adopting two meta-heuristic (simulated annealing, particle swarm optimization) and Fmincon solver dedicated to optimization in the field of WSN node localization. The experimental results obtained in this work prove the efficiency of simulated annealing (SA)-DVHOP in terms of accuracy. Furthermore, the enhanced algorithm outperforms its opponents by varying the percentage of anchors and the number of nodes.

Abstract

The fast expansion of internet of things (IoT) devices presents a more complicated scenario for maintaining a stable quality of service (QoS), which would guarantee the network’s dependable operation. The emergence of increasingly complex applications that call for additional devices makes this even more crucial. Adaptive intelligence solutions that guarantee optimal network behavior are therefore required. This paper presents a hybrid optimized solution for a three-layer IoT network that models the application, network, and perception layers of an IoT network using machine learning and fuzzy logic (FL). This method guarantees optimal QoS prediction with improved network adaptability by using fuzzy membership parameters. When the number of devices increases from 100 to 1,500, FLGA maintains an average QoS of 95% to 87%, while FL maintains 84% and RANDOM maintains 79%. At the application level, genetic algorithm (GA) continues to outperform RANDOM by 15.57% and FL by 6.32%. The goal of this paper is to provide a solid network solution that could enhance the consistency of QoS performance in order to combat the increasingly complex scenario of an IoT network.

Abstract

This article shows a new range-free localization technique based on a metaheuristic algorithm (MA) dedicated to wireless sensor network (WSN), named sequential online-grey wolf optimization-distance vector-Hop (SOGWO-DVHOP). Indeed, we use the improved GWO based on selective opposite learning to improve GWO in order to enhance the traditional DVHOP localization algorithm. In reality, we choose GWO due to its better outcomes compared to other meta-heuristics, which leads us to improve this algorithm further. In the literature, the improvement works of GWO try to reconstruct the hierarchy of GWO or improve specifically the role of omega individuals. In our contribution, we opt for opposition-based learning (OBL) to ameliorate GWO, aiming to further enhance the quality of localization made by DVHOP. On the other hand, we make an empirical comparison of DVHOP and its improved versions in terms of accuracy. The results of the simulation demonstrate that SO-GWO-DVHOP gives the best performance when we vary the anchor ratio and the density of nodes.
