Abstract
In recent years, there has been a rapid growth of mobile devices such as smart phones
and wearables. As the major approach of exchanging information with the outside
world, wireless communication plays an essential role for these mobile systems. Although
we have already used several wireless communication designs for years, demands
exist in scenarios requiring higher network performance and more application-specific
features.
In this thesis, we first investigate solutions to improve performance of today’s wireless
networks. Specifically, we designed a TDMA-like MAC to improve the WLAN
performance and a compact full duplex radio to increase the spectrum efficiency for
mobile devices. Second, we leverage wireless communication technologies to advance
mobile applications. Spe...[

In recent years, there has been a rapid growth of mobile devices such as smart phones

In this thesis, we first investigate solutions to improve performance of today’s wireless
networks. Specifically, we designed a TDMA-like MAC to improve the WLAN
performance and a compact full duplex radio to increase the spectrum efficiency for
mobile devices. Second, we leverage wireless communication technologies to advance
mobile applications. Specifically, we designed an acoustic communication and a visible
light communication method to increase indoor localization accuracy. Further, we
proposed a new wireless channel based on electromagnetic radiation, which can be
leveraged for light-weight device-to-device communication.
