Intelligent anti-jamming decision algorithm of bivariate frequency hopping pattern based on ET-PPO by Yibo CHEN, Zhijin ZHAO

“…In order to further improve its anti-interference ability in complex electromagnetic environment, a PPO algorithm based on weighted importance sampling and eligibility traces (ET-PPO) was proposed.On the basis of the traditional frequency hopping pattern, time-varying parameters were introduced, and the bivariate frequency hopping pattern decision problem was modeled as a Markov decision problem through the construction of the state-action-reward triple.Aiming at the high variance problem of the sample update method of an actor network of the PPO algorithm, weighted importance sampling was introduced to reduce the variance, and the action selection strategy of Beta distribution was used to enhance the stability of the learning stage.Aiming at the problem of slow convergence speed of the evaluator network, the eligibility trace method was introduced, which better balanced the convergence speed and the global optimal solution.The algorithm comparison simulation results in different electromagnetic interference environments show that ET-PPO has better adaptability and stability, and has better performance against obstruction interference and sweep frequency interference.…”

Multiattribute ranking based on analytic hierarchy model by Wei WANG, Tie-jun ZHAO, Guo-dong XIN, Bing XU

“…An approach based on analytic hierarchy model for solving product multiattribute ranking was proposed.The approach decomposed a decision problem into hierarchy of more easily comprehended sub-problems,such as goal level,criteria level,and alternative level.Then priorities among the elements of the hierarchy were established towards its higher hierarchy.Synthesize these priorities to yield a set of overall iorities for the alternative hierarchy by using weighted sums.The experiment results show the effectiveness of analytic hierarchy model.…”

Sensor fault detection algorithm based on credibility and neighbor-cooperation by Yan-fei LIN, Su-jie SHAO, Cheng ZHONG, Shao-yong GUO, Xue-song QIU

“…To effectively detect whether a node was failure,one of the effective sensor fault detection methods was to compare historical data of suspicious node with its neighbors.The key points of this method were identification of suspicious nodes,as well as decision problem of sending timing for fault diagnosis messages.To this end,a sensor fault detection algorithm was presented based on credibility and neighbor-cooperation.Firstly,a credibility model to determine whether nodes are suspicious was established.Then suspicious nodes send fault diagnosis requests to neighbor nodes based on neighbor-cooperation.The sending timing was determined by equal probability time window.Finally,it could finish classification of fault condition and state judgment based on diagnosis responds of neighbor nodes.Simulation experiments show that this algorithm can achieve higher fault detection rate with less fault diagnosis times and low data congestion probability.…”
