We first present a non-cooperative auction game to solve the bandwidth allocation problem for non-cooperative channel access in a wireless network. The Nash equilibrium is obtained as a solution of the game. To address this problem of bandwidth sharing under unknown information, we further develop a Bayesian auction game model and then Bayesian Nash equilibrium is then obtained. Next, we present a framework based on coalitional game for cooperative channel access for carry-and-forward-based data delivery. Each mobile node helps others to carry and then forward their data. A coalitional game is proposed to find a stable coalition structure for this cooperative data delivery. We next present static and dynamic coalitional games for carry-and-forward-based data delivery when the behavior of each mobile node is unknown by others. In the dynamic game, each mobile node can update its beliefs about other mobile nodes’ types when the static coalitional game is played repeatedly.

Long-term evolution (LTE) standard has been successfully stabilized, and launched in several areas. However, the required channel capacity is expected to increase significantly as the explosively increasing number of smart-phone users implies. Hence, this is already the time for leading researchers to concentrate on a new multiple access scheme in wireless communications to satisfy the channel capacity that those smart users will want in the not-too-distant future. The diversity and multiplexing in a new domain - polarization domain - can be a strong candidate for the solution to that problem in future wireless communication systems. This research contributes largely to the comprehensive understanding of polarized wireless channels and a new multiple access scheme in the polarization domain - polarization division multiple access (PDMA). The thesis consists of three streams: 1) a novel geometrical theory and models for fixed-to-mobile (F2M) and mobile-to-mobile (M2M) polarized wireless channels; 2) a new wireless body area network (BAN) polarized channel modeling; and 3) a novel PDMA scheme. The proposed geometrical theory and models reveal the origin and mechanism of channel depolarization with excellent agreement with empirical data in terms of cross-polarization discrimination (XPD), which is the principal measure of channel depolarization. Further, a novel PDMA scheme utilizing polarization-filtering detection and collaborative transmitter-receiver-polarization (Tx-Rx-polarization) adjustment, is designed considering cellular orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The novel PDMA scheme has large potential to be utilized with the conventional time, frequency, and code division multiple access (TDMA, FDMA, and CDMA); and spatial multiplexing for next-generation wireless communication systems.
