This paper proposes a neuro-fuzzy filter for equalization of time-varying channels. Additionally, it proposes to tune the equalizer with a hybrid algorithm between Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Bacteria Foraging (BFO), termed as GBF. The major advantage of the method developed in this paper is that all parameters of the neuro-fuzzy network, including the rule base, are tuned simultaneously throug...

The Economic Load Dispatch (ELD) problems in power generation systems are to reduce the fuel cost by reducing the total cost for the generation of electric power. This paper presents an efficient Modified Firefly Algorithm (MFA), for solving ELD Problem. The main objective of the problems is to minimize the total fuel cost of the generating units having quadratic cost functions subjected to lim...

Fifth-generation (5G) empowered internet of things (IoT) edge networks suffer from latency in delay-sensitive applications. To fulfil the low requirements beyond fifth-generation (B5G)-IoT applications and provide quality service (QoS) to IoT-edge communication, it is important minimize server delay. Furthermore, 5G-IoT systems consume more power than their predecessors, which a concern given g...

This paper proposes a hybrid approach involving Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Bacterial Foraging (BF) for tuning the PID controller of an AVR. Recently the social foraging behavior of E. coli bacteria has been used to solve optimization problems. We first illustrate the proposed method using four test functions and the performance of the algorithm is studied with an emphasis on mutation, crossover...

—In order to solve discrete optimization problems, this paper proposed a discrete bacterial foraging algorithm (DBFA) based on the idea of bacterial foraging optimization (BFO). The proposed DBFA applies binary encoding, and thus has the advantages of solving both discrete and continuous optimization problems. Also, according to sharing experiences of bacterium, we use the rotation step to upd...
