This report consists of two complementary parts, related to the modeling of two important sources of nonlinearities in a communications system. In the first part, an overview of important past work related to the estimation, compression and processing of sparse data through the use of nonlinear models is provided. In the second part, the current state of the art on the representation of wireless channels in the presence of nonlinearities is summarized. In addition to the characteristics of the nonlinear wireless fading channel, some information is also provided on recent approaches to the sparse representation of such channels.
