It is well known that the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is the most popular and important methods of the statistics. MLE is also the effective consistent estimation. Although the performance of the MLE is the most optimal, it involves the high computational load of the multivariate nonlinear maximization problem. The computational load of the MLE limits it practical application in the present chip technology. The main application area of the computational intelligence methods is the hard solved problems in the optimization, namely the non-deterministic polynomial (NP) problems. Based on this consideration, this thesis is dedicated to the application of the computational intelligence methods such as tabu search, chaos optimization algorithm, genetic algorithm and their improved algorithms to solve the two NP optimization problems which are pseudo noise (PN) code estimation of the direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) signal and the maximum likelihood localization of multiple sources in the non-cooperative context.The main contribution of this thesis can be summarized as follows:(1) This thesis presents maximum likelihood estimation to perform the PN code sequence estimation of DS/SS signal in a non-cooperative context. The MLE of the PN code is a combinatorial optimisation that has the exponential computation complexity.(2) A PN code sequence estimation of DS/SS signal using tabu search (named MLtabu) is presented. The method takes advantage of the global optimisation property to solve this NP problem. The simulation results show that a good estimation is obtained even with lower SNR such as -18dB. The method doesn't need the prior knowledge about the transmitter except the duration of the PN code sequence. The estimator has the polynomial computation complexity. The performance of the presented method is superior to the eigenanalysis method for the small number of temporal sampled windows.(3) A PN code sequence estimation of DS/SS signal based on the improved...
