General Switch-and-Stay Combing for Space Diversity over Rayleigh Fading Channels by Yawgeng A. Chau, Yao-Hua Chen

“…Numerical results based on the analysis and simulations are presented. In contrast to the MSSC over i.i.d. fading channels, we will show that the performance of MSSC schemes can be improved by increasing the number of branches, if i.n.d. channels are considered.…”

Optimization of Backpropagation Neural Network under the Adaptive Genetic Algorithm by Junxi Zhang, Shiru Qu

“…The results show that the average error distribution of the GA-BPNN algorithm is about 1% with small fluctuation range, better calculation accuracy, and generalization performance in contrast to the BPNN. The average output error of the AGA-BPNN fluctuates around 0 and remains in a relatively stable range as a whole in contrast to that of GA-BPNN; the maximum fitness level keeps increasing during the evolution process but approaches the average value in later process, so the population diversity is hard to be guaranteed. …”
