- Abstract
- Emerging networks are envisioned to sustain not only communication services, but also other applications such as localisation or information security. These multiple functions inherently connect many points, which may be devices, users, access points or sensors. As the several network functions and the multiple points share the same physical resources, they however interfere with each other. This thesis consequently addresses the problem of multi-function multi-point interference analysis and management, along three research directions. The first studied paradigm considers that the network nodes are autonomous, locally making decisions about their own resource allocation. Yet, since the resources are shared, the nodes interact together. These interactions are formalised and analysed within the framework of game theory. The second considered research direction focuses on the joint optimisation of the resource allocation of a set of coupled nodes. To that aim, joint optimisation problems are formulated and solved for two wireless scenarios. Finally, as a third way to handle the interference, the near-field effect is exploited. This effect enables to distinguish radar targets along the range direction of an antenna array. The near-field range estimation problem is hence studied, with a focus on the impact of the parameters on the achievable resolution in the range domain.
