Physical layer security performance of MF relay selection systems by Ying CHENG, Guangqiu LI, Jingjie SHEN, Liang WEI

“…Aimed at the poor security performance of single antenna multi-relay modify-and-forward (MF) cooperative wireless systems in collusion eavesdropping scenario, MF cooperative physical layer security systems combining source node transmit antenna selection (TAS) and multi-relay selection in collusion eavesdropping scenario were proposed.Two relay selection schemes were considered, namely, the optimal maximization of the main channel signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the suboptimal maximization of the source-relay link SNR.The closed-form expressions of the secrecy outage probability (SOP) and ergodic secure capacity (ESC) for the above MF cooperative wireless systems were derived.The numerical results of SOP and ESC of MF secure relay systems with optimal or suboptimal relay selection were consistent with the simulation results, which verifies the correctness of the above theoretical analysis.It also shows that the more the number of transmit antennas at the source node and relay nodes, and the less the number of eavesdropping nodes, the better the physical layer security performance of MF secure relay systems with optimal or suboptimal relay selection.…”

The role of response elements organization in transcription factor selectivity: the IFN-β enhanceosome example. by Yongping Pan, Ruth Nussinov

“…Our molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on different motif combinations from the enhanceosome illustrate that cooperativity is achieved via unique organization of the REs: specific binding of one TF can enhance the binding of another TF to a neighboring RE and restrict others, through overlap of REs; the order of the REs can determine which complexes will form; and the alternation of consensus and non-consensus REs can regulate binding specificity by optimizing the interactions among partners. …”

Robust reinforcement learning algorithm based on pigeon-inspired optimization by Mingying ZHANG, Bing HUA, Yuguang ZHANG, Haidong LI, Mohong ZHENG

“…Reinforcement learning(RL) is an artificial intelligence algorithm with the advantages of clear calculation logic and easy expansion of the model.Through interacting with the environment and maximizing value functions on the premise of obtaining little or no prior information, RL can optimize the performance of strategies and effectively reduce the complexity caused by physical models .The RL algorithm based on strategy gradient has been successfully applied in many fields such as intelligent image recognition, robot control and path planning for automatic driving.However, the highly sampling-dependent characteristics of RL determine that the training process needs a large number of samples to converge, and the accuracy of decision making is easily affected by slight interference that does not match with the simulation environment.Especially when RL is applied to the control field, it is difficult to prove the stability of the algorithm because the convergence of the algorithm cannot be guaranteed.Considering that swarm intelligence algorithm can solve complex problems through group cooperation and has the characteristics of self-organization and strong stability, it is an effective way to be used for improving the stability of RL model.The pigeon-inspired optimization algorithm in swarm intelligence was combined to improve RL based on strategy gradient.A RL algorithm based on pigeon-inspired optimization was proposed to solve the strategy gradient in order to maximize long-term future rewards.Adaptive function of pigeon-inspired optimization algorithm and RL were combined to estimate the advantages and disadvantages of strategies, avoid solving into an infinite loop, and improve the stability of the algorithm.A nonlinear two-wheel inverted pendulum robot control system was selected for simulation verification.The simulation results show that the RL algorithm based on pigeon-inspired optimization can improve the robustness of the system, reduce the computational cost, and reduce the algorithm’s dependence on the sample database.…”
