In general, the performance of a direction of arrival (DOA) estimator may decay under a non-uniform noise and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment. In this paper, a memetic particle swarm optimization (MPSO) algorithm combined with a noise variance estimator is proposed, in order to address this issue. The MPSO incorporates re-estimation of the noise variance and iterated local search algorithms into the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, resulting in higher efficiency and a reduction in non-uniform noise effects under a low SNR. The MPSO procedure is as follows: PSO is initially utilized to evaluate the signal DOA using a subspace maximum-likelihood (SML) method. Next, the best position of the swarm to estimate the noise variance is determined and the iterated local search algorithm to reduce the non-uniform noise effect is built. The proposed method uses the SML criterion to rebuild the noise variance for the iterated local search algorithm, in order to reduce non-uniform noise effects. Simulation experiments confirm that the DOA estimation methods are valid in a high SNR environment, but in a low SNR and non-uniform noise environment, the performance becomes poor because of the confusion between noise and signal sources. The proposed method incorporates the re-estimation of noise variance and an iterated local search algorithm in the PSO. This method is effectively improved by the ability to reduce estimation deviation in low SNR and non-uniform environments.

Industrial Wireless Sensor Networks (IWSNs), a novel technique in industry control, can greatly reduce the cost of measurement and control and improve productive efficiency. Different from Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in non-industrial applications, the communication reliability of IWSNs has to be guaranteed as the real-time field data need to be transmitted to the control system through IWSNs. Obviously, the network architecture has a significant influence on the performance of IWSNs, and therefore this paper investigates the optimal node placement problem of IWSNs to ensure the network reliability and reduce the cost. To solve this problem, a node placement model of IWSNs is developed and formulized in which the reliability, the setup cost, the maintenance cost and the scalability of the system are taken into account. Then an improved adaptive mutation probability binary particle swarm optimization algorithm (AMPBPSO) is proposed for searching out the best placement scheme. After the verification of the model and optimization algorithm on the benchmark problem, the presented AMPBPSO and the optimization model are used to solve various large-scale optimal sensor placement problems. The experimental results show that AMPBPSO is effective to tackle IWSNs node placement problems and outperforms discrete binary Particle Swarm Optimization (DBPSO) and standard Genetic Algorithm (GA) in terms of search accuracy and the convergence speed with the guaranteed network reliability.

Localization is the key research area in wireless sensor networks. Finding the exact position of the node is known as localization. Different algorithms have been proposed. Here we consider a cooperative localization algorithm with censoring schemes using Crammer Rao bound (CRB). This censoring scheme  can improve the positioning accuracy and reduces computation complexity, traffic and latency. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a population based search algorithm based on the swarm intelligence like social behavior of birds, bees or a school of fishes. To improve the algorithm efficiency and localization precision, this paper presents an objective function based on the normal distribution of ranging error and a method of obtaining the search space of particles. In this paper  Distributed localization of wireless sensor networksis proposed using PSO with best censoring technique using CRB. Proposed method shows better results in terms of position accuracy, latency and complexity.
