Description
In-band full-duplex relays are envisioned as promising solution to increase the throughput of next generation wireless communications. Full-duplex relays, being able to transmit and receive at same carrier frequency, offers increased spectral efficiency compared to half-duplex relays that transmit and receive at different frequencies or times. The practical implementation of full-duplex relays is limited by the strong self-interference caused by the coupling of relay's own transit signals to its desired received signals. Several techniques have been proposed in literature to mitigate the relay self-interference. In this thesis, the performance of in-band full-duplex multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relays is considered in the context of simultaneous communications and channel estimation. In particular, adaptive spatial transmit techniques is considered to protect the full-duplex radio's receive array. It is assumed that relay's transmit and receive antenna phase centers are physically distinct. This allows the radio to employ adaptive spatial transmit and receive processing to mitigate self-interference.
The performance of this protection is dependent upon numerous factors, including channel estimation accuracy, which is the focus of this thesis. In particular, the concentration is on estimating the self-interference channel. A novel approach of simultaneous signaling to estimate the self-interference channel in MIMO full-duplex relays is proposed. To achieve this simultaneous communications
and channel estimation, a full-rank pilot signal at a reduced relative power is transmitted simultaneously with a low rank communication waveform. The self-interference mitigation is investigated in the context of eigenvalue spread of spatial relay receive co-variance matrix. Performance is demonstrated by using simulations,
in which orthogonal-frequency division-multiplexing communications and pilot sequences are employed.

Description
As the number of devices with wireless capabilities and the proximity of these devices to each other increases, better ways to handle the interference they cause need to be explored. Also important is for these devices to keep up with the demand for data rates while not compromising on industry established expectations of power consumption and mobility. Current methods of distributing the spectrum among all participants are expected to not cope with the demand in a very near future. In this thesis, the effect of employing sophisticated multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) systems in this regard is explored. The efficacy of systems which can make intelligent decisions on the transmission mode usage and power allocation to these modes becomes relevant in the current scenario, where the need for performance far exceeds the cost expendable on hardware. The effect of adding multiple antennas at either ends will be examined, the capacity of such systems and of networks comprised of many such participants will be evaluated. Methods of simulating said networks, and ways to achieve better performance by making intelligent transmission decisions will be proposed. Finally, a way of access control closer to the physical layer (a 'statistical MAC') and a possible metric to be used for such a MAC is suggested.

Description
Speech is generated by articulators acting on
a phonatory source. Identification of this
phonatory source and articulatory geometry are
individually challenging and ill-posed
problems, called speech separation and
articulatory inversion, respectively.
There exists a trade-off
between decomposition and recovered
articulatory geometry due to multiple
possible mappings between an
articulatory configuration
and the speech produced. However, if measurements
are obtained only from a microphone sensor,
they lack any invasive insight and add
additional challenge to an already difficult
problem.
A joint non-invasive estimation
strategy that couples articulatory and
phonatory knowledge would lead to better
articulatory speech synthesis. In this thesis,
a joint estimation strategy for speech
separation and articulatory geometry recovery
is studied. Unlike previous
periodic/aperiodic decomposition methods that
use stationary speech models within a
frame, the proposed model presents a
non-stationary speech decomposition method.
A parametric glottal source model and an
articulatory vocal tract response are
represented in a dynamic state space formulation.
The unknown parameters of the
speech generation components are estimated
using sequential Monte Carlo methods
under some specific assumptions.
The proposed approach is compared with other
glottal inverse filtering methods,
including iterative adaptive inverse filtering,
state-space inverse filtering, and
the quasi-closed phase method.
