Efficient Coding for Distributed-input Distributed-output Wireless Systems. Inter-user interference is becoming the dominant bottleneck in state-of-the-art wireless networks. This project aims to address this bottleneck problem by studying a new paradigm, referred to as a Distributed-Input Distributed-Output (DIDO) wireless system, which makes the best use of interference. Results from information theory and modern coding techniques will be advanced to develop new design principles and novel ph ....Efficient Coding for Distributed-input Distributed-output Wireless Systems. Inter-user interference is becoming the dominant bottleneck in state-of-the-art wireless networks. This project aims to address this bottleneck problem by studying a new paradigm, referred to as a Distributed-Input Distributed-Output (DIDO) wireless system, which makes the best use of interference. Results from information theory and modern coding techniques will be advanced to develop new design principles and novel physical-layer coding techniques of DIDO systems, leading to substantially improved throughput, reliability, energy efficiency and robustness. This project aims to develop fundamentally enhanced wireless infrastructure with targeted applications in cellular and wireless networks, satellite communications and wireless sensor networks.Read moreRead less
Wideband Strongly-Truncated Composite Cavity-Resonator Antennas. A rapidly growing demand for fast wireless services calls for wideband communication systems with wideband antennas, which are compact, aesthetically appealing and inexpensive, yet have good performance. With novel concepts, this project aims to produce a new class of antennas that deliver impressive performance (bandwidth and gain) while taking up a dramatically reduced area in a way that was impossible before, increasing a figure ....Wideband Strongly-Truncated Composite Cavity-Resonator Antennas. A rapidly growing demand for fast wireless services calls for wideband communication systems with wideband antennas, which are compact, aesthetically appealing and inexpensive, yet have good performance. With novel concepts, this project aims to produce a new class of antennas that deliver impressive performance (bandwidth and gain) while taking up a dramatically reduced area in a way that was impossible before, increasing a figure-of-merit to up to seven times the state-of-the-art. Their planar geometry and simplicity lead to low cost. This is expected to create new knowledge, design methods and examples, prototypes, test results and guidelines required to design, optimise and make these versatile antennas for emerging robust broadband wireless systems.Read moreRead less
Physical layer security techniques for multiuser wireless networks. This project will develop innovative new security techniques for wireless networks. The novel techniques we develop will exploit the natural variability of wireless communication channels in order to deliver much-enhanced data security to a whole range of applications over the mobile internet.
Radio resources and inter-cell interference management in smart grid wireless access networks. Wireless communications is the key enabler of smart grids. The project will deliver novel radio resource allocation protocols with low latency, high radio spectrum efficiency and reliability for radio access networks in smart grids. The project will develop new technologies with a potential to be implemented in future Long Term Evolution (LTE) machine-to-machine (M2M) standards.

Technology optimisation of integrated circuits with applications to wireless communication systems in medicine. This project will define and verify methods to help engineers pick the best technology for designing critical wireless monitoring systems used for medical devices. This project will also verify these methods by developing a wireless, implantable blood pressure monitor with real-time video.
Design of network coding schemes for the next generation of wireless cellular systems. Network coding schemes are expected to become one of the key radio technologies and could have a far-reaching impact on the Australian economy. The proposed program will contribute to theory and development of network coding techniques and their application in future wireless networks.
Dual-band antennas with digitally steerable beams made out of multi-state electromagnetic elements. A collection of antennas required for forthcoming wireless systems will be designed, made and tested. They are ideal for wireless on-body medical devices and wireless transmission of high-quality video and high-speed data. These systems will bring great benefits to wireless users and patients, including better quality of life and convenience.
Scheduling and quality of service in Long Term Evolution telecommunications. There is an explosion of mobile telecommunications with over 50 billion connections expected by 2020.
