Design of Wireless sensor and communication networks with fixed and mobile nodes. Wireless sensor and communication networks with fixed and mobile nodes are rapidly becoming essential technologies for hostile environmental monitoring, battlefield surveillance and precision agriculture. However, due to the complexities associated with interconnected design issues involving sensors, autonomous vehicles and communication protocols, even very simple networks have proven to be difficult to design.

Wireless sensor and communication networks with fixed and mobile nodes are rapidly becoming essential technologies for hostile environmental monitoring, battlefield surveillance and precision agriculture. However, due to the complexities associated with interconnected design issues involving sensors, autonomous vehicles and communication protocols, even very simple networks have proven to be difficult to design. This project proposes to intelligently employ higher capabilities of mobile nodes and develop methods for rapid deployment, maintenance and routing that are aware of location, energy, and security. The outcomes of this project will form the basis for design of intelligent wireless networks for defence and civilian applications.Read moreRead less
Nodal Power Saving for Disconnected Ad Hoc Sensor Networks. Bushfire, age care and farming is Australia's today and tomorrow.
A key aspect in bushfire control is early detection of ignitions by spreading miniature low power sensors in a large potential area in an ad hoc fashion and localizing. Response to panic alarm buttons by retirees in a retirement village where they are free to walk around while their location is monitored in real time using a wireless tag they carry to transmit data re ....Nodal Power Saving for Disconnected Ad Hoc Sensor Networks. Bushfire, age care and farming is Australia's today and tomorrow.
A key aspect in bushfire control is early detection of ignitions by spreading miniature low power sensors in a large potential area in an ad hoc fashion and localizing. Response to panic alarm buttons by retirees in a retirement village where they are free to walk around while their location is monitored in real time using a wireless tag they carry to transmit data relating to their physical health(i.e blood pressure, ECG etc). Locating live stocks roaming around in the dairy industry using sensory transmission used for monitoring their statues is vitals for the farmer for improving efficiency.

Overseeing the internet: new paradigms of network measurement. Like the electricity network, the Internet is a core infrastructure, and so must be reliable, efficient, and fairly accessible. A gap in bandwidth supply is like a blackout in terms of lost business and productivity. Inefficiency increases costs as more equipment is needed for the same service, and an inability to police network providers distorts economics and strangles access to the best services. Network health can only be assesse ....Overseeing the internet: new paradigms of network measurement. Like the electricity network, the Internet is a core infrastructure, and so must be reliable, efficient, and fairly accessible. A gap in bandwidth supply is like a blackout in terms of lost business and productivity. Inefficiency increases costs as more equipment is needed for the same service, and an inability to police network providers distorts economics and strangles access to the best services. Network health can only be assessed through measurements, however, current methods are incapable of measuring some of the most important metrics, for instance whether a provider is conforming to its contract. This project will provide the breakthroughs necessary to ensure that network behaviour can be accurately and comprehensively assessed.Read moreRead less
Enabling Reliable, Efficient, and Secure Networks: Next Generation Measurement for the Internet. Like the electricity network, the Internet is a core infrastructure connecting society, and so must be reliable, efficient, and secure. A gap in bandwidth supply is like a blackout in terms of lost business, productivity and essential data. Inefficiency increases costs as more equipment is needed for the same service, and poor security threatens both the economic and personal spheres, limiting free ....Enabling Reliable, Efficient, and Secure Networks: Next Generation Measurement for the Internet. Like the electricity network, the Internet is a core infrastructure connecting society, and so must be reliable, efficient, and secure. A gap in bandwidth supply is like a blackout in terms of lost business, productivity and essential data. Inefficiency increases costs as more equipment is needed for the same service, and poor security threatens both the economic and personal spheres, limiting freedom and adding cost. A raw material of network health and security is network measurements showing what is going on. However, current methods cannot cope with the size and speed of today's Internet. This project will provide the measurement breakthroughs necessary to ensure that networks are reliable, secure, and fairly priced.Read moreRead less
