The proposed project will provide a diverse range of benefits for the nation, by providing future solutions to address a number of key telecommunication networking requirements in Australia. One such area is the provision of broadband connectivity to rural and remote regions of Australia. It is well known, that wireless relay networks could potentially provide low-cost networking infrastructure for rural and remote communities. The solutions developed in this project will enable a wider deployment of such networks, as they would increase the capacity of these networks both in terms of bandwidth and their coverage. This is of major benefit to Australia, due to our large desert land-mass and sparsely populated remote and rural communities.Read moreRead less

The project's outcomes will enable Optus to expand its broadband mobile Internet service to all parts and population of the country including rural and regional areas and subsequently export the breakthrough technology resulted from the project to overseas.Read moreRead less
Driving Large Scale Live Internet Broadcasting of Streaming Video. Recent experience of Internet service providers has seen a booming market demand for live Internet broadcasting services. Live broadcasting of high-profile events, such as the Live Earth concerts in July 2007 by MSN, has drawn a global audience of the order of millions of viewers across the Internet. The technology developed in this project will drastically reduce Internet bandwidth consumption for provisioning such large-scale I ....Driving Large Scale Live Internet Broadcasting of Streaming Video. Recent experience of Internet service providers has seen a booming market demand for live Internet broadcasting services. Live broadcasting of high-profile events, such as the Live Earth concerts in July 2007 by MSN, has drawn a global audience of the order of millions of viewers across the Internet. The technology developed in this project will drastically reduce Internet bandwidth consumption for provisioning such large-scale Internet broadcasting services while meeting user satisfaction with guaranteed Quality of Service. It is crucial for Australia to invest in this frontier technology since Australian service providers rely on expensive Internet infrastructure to communicate with major data hubs in other continents.Read moreRead less
Eco-NextNet: An Ecologically-Inspired Adaptive Network Resource Management Framework for a Sustainable Next Generation Mobile Network for Ubiquitous Services. Ubiquitous communications service is the most important element of today's societies. In urban and rural areas of the country as well as at the time of natural disasters such as bushfires, floods, cyclones, it is vital to devise alternative schemes to create and sustain on-demand telecommunications services. In most cases it is not the lac ....Eco-NextNet: An Ecologically-Inspired Adaptive Network Resource Management Framework for a Sustainable Next Generation Mobile Network for Ubiquitous Services. Ubiquitous communications service is the most important element of today's societies. In urban and rural areas of the country as well as at the time of natural disasters such as bushfires, floods, cyclones, it is vital to devise alternative schemes to create and sustain on-demand telecommunications services. In most cases it is not the lack of technology that hinders the implementation of a reliable communications service, but it is the resource allocation. In this project we propose a novel sustainable resource management framework inspired by natural ecological systems to solve the above problem. Upon completion, Australia will be in forefront of technologies related to the management of complex networks.Read moreRead less

This LIEF application aims to build up the essential infrastructure for the development of future wireless technology and applications. The proposed project is the first step in a strategy to transform Australia's wireless communications research and industry to meet the challenges of future wireless systems and services. This strategy will ensure that Australia's unique domestic industrial and environmental needs are met in a timely manner, and at the same time position its wireless communications industry to pioneer, compete and dominate on an international level. It will give Australia a pathway to an entry into this potentially huge market segment, that will inevitably continue to grow. Read moreRead less
Combinatorial structures for computer security and communication. Hadamard matrices in their various guises arise many times in the study of reliable communications and secure communications. The aim of this research project is to use the theory of cyclotomy in both fields and rings to find new number theoretic results which will then be used to obtain new with zero or small autocorrelation functions.
The significance of this research is to propose new construction of Hadamard matrices and bloc ....Combinatorial structures for computer security and communication.

The significance of this research is to propose new construction of Hadamard matrices and block designs for computer security and wireless network communication.
We expect some new classes of Hadamard matrices and block designs can be constructed for security and communication applications and several papers would be submitted or published.
