Incorporating network-level knowledge into Quality of Service control mechanisms for wireless LANs. Expansion of Wireless LANs as primary access technology for mobile computing devices has resulted in growing expectations of continuous area coverage and controlled Quality of Service. The work published to date defines QoS control mechanisms for a single WLAN cell, but fails to address challenges of multiple-cell networks. We aim at designing network-wide resource management mechanisms to dynamic ....Incorporating network-level knowledge into Quality of Service control mechanisms for wireless LANs. Expansion of Wireless LANs as primary access technology for mobile computing devices has resulted in growing expectations of continuous area coverage and controlled Quality of Service. The work published to date defines QoS control mechanisms for a single WLAN cell, but fails to address challenges of multiple-cell networks. We aim at designing network-wide resource management mechanisms to dynamically allocate resources to cells and users, taking into account user mobility and radio interference between multiple cells. Benefits from this research include competitive advantage to operators who will be able to differentiate service offerings and guarantee agreed QoS to their customers.Read moreRead less

The Information and communications technology (ICT) industry has direct contribution to the economy as well as being an enabler across many areas of potential growth. This project aims at solving a key problem currently inhibiting an entire class of wireless ICT applications with strict quality-of-service requirements.
Another important impact is the bridging nature of the project, cutting across traditionally separated disciplines within telecommunications. The cross-layer design methodologies are the first steps towards interdisciplinary work, opening up new areas of research with high potential of innovation. Establishing an R&D niche of excellence will inspire more efforts into these areas, providing a knowledge base for Australia.Read moreRead less
Intelligent Resource Allocation Techniques for Next Generation Wireless Mobile Communication Networks. The project will develop radio and network resource allocation techniques to maximise network utilisation and to offer guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia traffic in 3G/4G wireless mobile communication networks. In particular, this work will study the problem of radio channel allocation in wireless IP (Internet protocol) multimedia networks. The project will develop resource allo ....Intelligent Resource Allocation Techniques for Next Generation Wireless Mobile Communication Networks. The project will develop radio and network resource allocation techniques to maximise network utilisation and to offer guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) for multimedia traffic in 3G/4G wireless mobile communication networks. In particular, this work will study the problem of radio channel allocation in wireless IP (Internet protocol) multimedia networks. The project will develop resource allocation algorithms based on traffic conditions, link qualities and service requirements using statistical traffic models, mobile software agents and neural network techniques.

Broadband to the bush: Polarization as a new resource in wireless cross-layer design. 'Broadband to the Bush' is a national priority - more than 1.6 million homes, small businesses and not-for-profit organizations in rural, regional, and remote Australia are set to benefit from broadband access to phone networks and the internet. The immediate challenges lie in overcoming poor download speeds and area coverage, as well as expensive access. This research will deliver cost and power-efficient re ....Broadband to the bush: Polarization as a new resource in wireless cross-layer design. 'Broadband to the Bush' is a national priority - more than 1.6 million homes, small businesses and not-for-profit organizations in rural, regional, and remote Australia are set to benefit from broadband access to phone networks and the internet. The immediate challenges lie in overcoming poor download speeds and area coverage, as well as expensive access. This research will deliver cost and power-efficient receiver architectures to provide end-user utility, and will train postgraduate researchers across traditional discipline boundaries in mathematics and engineering. The project represents an important contribution to frontier technologies in information and communications technology for building and transforming Australian industries.Read moreRead less
