Summary
Internet of things testbed for creating a Smart City. The Internet of Things Testbed facility replicates the conditions of a city-wide distribution of sensors and data collection applications to model in real time the functioning urban sensing elements of a smart city, translating vast amounts of sensor data into meaningful information and ultimately action.
Secure and Efficient Communication in Vehicle-based Radio Frequency Identification Systems. The successful completion of the project will enable the deployment of RFID technologies to improve current methods of reading and processing RFID tag information in numerous real-life applications. Based on the research from this project a real-life application in asset tracking will be developed and deployed through the industry partner. Such an outcome will generate knowledge that can transform and imp ....Secure and Efficient Communication in Vehicle-based Radio Frequency Identification Systems. The successful completion of the project will enable the deployment of RFID technologies to improve current methods of reading and processing RFID tag information in numerous real-life applications. Based on the research from this project a real-life application in asset tracking will be developed and deployed through the industry partner. Such an outcome will generate knowledge that can transform and improve current logistics systems for Australian companies and their international clients and have the potential to significantly increase the efficiency of decentralised business environments such as logistics and supply chain management particularly in the fields of inventory control, distribution and transportation.Read moreRead less

Summary
User-based Radio Spectrum Harvesting System. Demand on wireless traffic is estimated to increase more than one thousand-fold in the next 10 years. As existing networks are quickly becoming overloaded, this project aims to improve radio spectrum utilisation by harvesting temporarily unused spectrum holes to accommodate future traffic. The proposed spectrum harvesting system is cost-effective as it will rely on a software that runs on users' devices to sense and report spectrum holes to mobile ser ....User-based Radio Spectrum Harvesting System. Demand on wireless traffic is estimated to increase more than one thousand-fold in the next 10 years. As existing networks are quickly becoming overloaded, this project aims to improve radio spectrum utilisation by harvesting temporarily unused spectrum holes to accommodate future traffic. The proposed spectrum harvesting system is cost-effective as it will rely on a software that runs on users' devices to sense and report spectrum holes to mobile service providers. An unprecedented communications framework that incentivises both users and service providers to harvest and trade/share radio spectrum holes will be developed. It will reduce the costs of the radio spectrum, allowing cheaper and better mobile data services for the Australian public.Read moreRead less
Decimetre-level indoor positioning on Wi-Fi. This project aims to exploit both spatial and frequency diversities based on the multiple-input, multiple-out and frequency hopping techniques to achieve the goal of decimetre-level position accuracy by significantly increasing Wi-Fi bandwidth. Wi-Fi positioning is utilised in locations where GPS is blocked, typically this is within a structure. The project will design a set of mechanisms to facilitate Wi-Fi positioning, discover key principles to gui ....Decimetre-level indoor positioning on Wi-Fi. This project aims to exploit both spatial and frequency diversities based on the multiple-input, multiple-out and frequency hopping techniques to achieve the goal of decimetre-level position accuracy by significantly increasing Wi-Fi bandwidth. Wi-Fi positioning is utilised in locations where GPS is blocked, typically this is within a structure. The project will design a set of mechanisms to facilitate Wi-Fi positioning, discover key principles to guide practical design, and develop advanced algorithms to push the performance limit to decimetre-level accuracy. The project will develop key fundamental technologies which are expected to promote innovative, practical, and cost-effective applications to local industry and service sectors and contribute to Australia's long-term economic growth.Read moreRead less
