In this thesis, we investigate the optimum approach to mitigate the effects of impulse noise in wireless communication channels. First, we present a measurement campaign to verify the statistical properties of a Middleton Class-A (MCA) model for impulse noise. This campaign measures wireless interference that corrupted a 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. We extend this verification to characterize the spatial coupling and correlation of impulse noise for multiple antenna systems. We then investigate the optimum detector for binary signals corrupted by MCA noise. We approximate the MCA model to a single weighted Gaussian density such that the nonlinearities of the optimum detector can be evaluated in a closed-form expression. The approximate MCA model discriminates the noise probability density function (PDF) of Gaussian and impulsive events using a threshold detection scheme. By means of such approximations, we provide a precise analysis for the behaviors of optimum nonlinearities in reducing the effects of impulse noise. We also introduce a decision boundary analysis to justify and analyze the performance of the optimum detector in different MCA noise environments. We also approximate the nonlinearities to investigate the behaviors of the other suboptimum detectors such as a locally optimum detector (LOD) and a clipping detector. As a suboptimum approach, we further approximate the optimum nonlinearities using linear segments to introduce new suboptimum detectors such as a piecewise linear detector and a clipping-like detector. Next, we extend the approximate MCA model to derive the optimum combining schemes for time and space diversity in the presence of fading and impulse noise. We assume perfect knowledge of noise states to evaluate the analytical performances of the optimum combining schemes for time, receive, and transmit/receive diversity in Rayleigh fading and MCA noise. Although this assumption is unrealistic, it leads to a tight performance bound for the optimum combining schemes in impulse noise. These evaluations allow us to study the performance loss of spatial diversity with respect to the number of transmit and receive antennas. Finally, we utilize the spectral dimensions in the mitigation problem of impulse noise for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. We start with the receiver design of OFDM systems applied to fading channels with MCA noise, such as the optimum receiver and a conventional OFDM detector. We then evaluate an upper performance bound for the optimum receiver in flat fading with MCA noise. This analysis indicates a significant performance improvement of the optimum detector over a conventional OFDM detector in impulse noise. We finally develop a sphere decoding along with sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) to realize the optimum OFDM detector in MCA noise.
