A hybrid approach to conjugate gradient algorithms for nonlinear systems of equations with applications in signal restoration by Xuejie Ma, Songhua Wang

“…The proposed algorithm presents several significant advancements and key features: (i) the conjugate parameter is constructed by utilizing the hybrid technique; (ii) the search direction, designed with the conjugate parameter, possesses sufficient descent and trust region properties without the need for a line search mechanism; (iii) the global convergence is rigorously established under general assumptions, notably without the requirement of the Lipschitz continuity condition; (vi) numerical experiments demonstrate the algorithm's efficiency, particularly in solving large-scale constrained nonlinear systems of equations and addressing the sparse signal restoration problem.…”

Energy-efficiency maximization scheme for data collection in wireless power communication networks by Haijiang GE, Zhanwei YU, Kaikai CHI

“…WPCN composed of multiple RF energy sources and sinks was studied.The energy efficiency of data collection were maximized by jointly optimizing the transmission power of energy sources,the time allocation of wireless energy transfer and the time allocation of nodes’ data transmission.Specifically,the energy efficiency maximization problem was modeled firstly.Then,the optimal value of transmitted power was obtained,and the monotonicity of energy-efficiency function and the convexity of throughput function were further deduced.Finally,based on these properties,an efficient algorithm which combines golden-section search and bisection search was designed to get the optimal solution quickly.The simulation results show that the proposed optimal algorithm can significantly improve the energy efficiency compared with the baseline scheme.…”

Trajectory privacy protection mechanism of obfuscating paths based on vehicles cooperation by Ziwen ZHAO, Ayong YE, Junlin JIN, Lingyu MENG

“…Vehicles sent location information to third parties to obtain location-based services in the Internet of vehicles,which may lead to vehicle trajectory privacy leakage.To address the privacy problem,trajectory privacy protection mechanism of obfuscating paths based on vehicles cooperation was proposed.Firstly,after the vehicle trajectory entropy reaches the custom trajectory protection threshold,the overhead of paths confusion saves by reducing the number of vehicle paths confusion.Then,paths confusion algorithm was designed to increase chances of vehicle paths confusion at intersections,which can improve the degree of vehicle trajectory protection.Finally,the simulation experiment verified the validity and efficiency of the method from the trajectory entropy and trajectory tracking success rate.…”

Resource allocation algorithm for downlink multiuser CoMP system by Yong-hong KUO, Ren-yong WAN, Jian CHEN, Jian WANG

“…For downlink multiuser coordinated multi-point transmission (MU-CoMP) system,a fast resource allocation algorithm was proposed to solve the margin adaptive (MA) problem.Firstly the algorithm estimated the number of sub-carriers for each user based on its average channel gain and minimal-rate requirement,and then an efficient algorithm was designed to complement subcarrier allocation.At last,fast bit-loading was achieved through pre-determining and remov-ing the inefficient spatial subchannels.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm decreases the total transmit power with both the minimal-rate and bit error rate requirements satisfied,and obtains near-optimal performance with less complexity,compared with the optimal algorithm.…”
