The presented research work addresses these two feature improvements. First, the work analyzed mesh networks to enhance connectivity for wireless networks. The work analyzed both homogeneous and heterogeneous mesh networks. The work includes the development of an Android applica tion to enable smartphones with multiple interfaces, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular services, to become convergence devices. These convergence devices are then used to build a heterogeneous mesh network improving connectivity and coverage area. Second, the work explored full-duplex communications, which can achieve twice the spectral efficiency achieved by existing half-duplex communications. A novel method was proposed to address the estimation of self-interference, besides the estimation of the communication channel. A system model was proposed and the performance limits of the estimators was determined. Both flat fading and frequency selective channels are used in this analysis. An experimental analysis was performed on the USRP family of devices in full-duplex communication. The internal leakage which manifests as internal self-interference in full-duplex operation was characterized across the operating frequencies of each device. Finally, the work analyzed the usage of learning techniques to improve channel estimations. The work explored two potential applications. First, the selection of a channel model from a poll of existing models; to match the dynamic channel conditions. The target learner was proposed for this dynamic selection. Second, to estimate the data which are missed not at random at the reception, and proposed to estimate these missed data using simple random imputation. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I am very thankful to my advisor, Dr. Maciej Zawodniok for his unwavering support guiding throughout my master’s and doctoral program.
