I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor professor Dusit Niyato for his constant support and guidance throughout my Ph.D. study at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). I would like to thank him for his immense enthusiasm and patience. He always motivates me even when I am lost. I could not have imagined having a better adviser and mentor for my Ph.D. study.Moreover, I would like to give a sincere thank to my co-supervisors, Dr. Puay Siew Tan and associate professor Ping Wang for their constant guidance as well as for providing the necessary information and the direction.Beside my supervisor and my co-supervisors, I would like to thank all the collaborators and my lab-mates, who have shared research idea and knowledge with me.Especially, I would like to thank associate professor Sarana Nutanong for giving valuable comments on my research works. In addition, I am deeply indebted to Mr.Rakpong Kaewpuang and Dr. Thanomwong Poorisat who helped me settle down when I first moved to Singapore. They gave me practical and helpful guidance about research and how to live in this multi-culture country.
