Australia's population is ageing, with a significant, projected increase in the number of people aged over 65. This project addresses the core issue of providing an end-to-end assistive healthcare loop to maintain the wellness as well as improving the quality of life of this ageing population. It promises to reduce the enormous cost of public and primary healthcare. Furthermore, with the proposed framework, an end user will be able to enjoy the support of multiple caregivers (relatives, community-caregivers, etc.) working collaboratively. These factors certainly relate this project to the strengthening of Australia's social and economic fabric priority.Read moreRead less
Adaptive Multi-user Detectors for Mobile Space-Time Communications Systems over Time Variable Fading Channels. High capacity wire-line internet access (~ 1 Mbit/s) is available through existing telephone lines or through the cable TV infrastructure. The need to have the same quality wireless and mobile internet access is becoming evident. The full deployment of the mobile internet might be delayed due to the low capacity of existing cellular mobile communications systems. This research project w ....Adaptive Multi-user Detectors for Mobile Space-Time Communications Systems over Time Variable Fading Channels. High capacity wire-line internet access (~ 1 Mbit/s) is available through existing telephone lines or through the cable TV infrastructure. The need to have the same quality wireless and mobile internet access is becoming evident. The full deployment of the mobile internet might be delayed due to the low capacity of existing cellular mobile communications systems. This research project will contribute to the understanding of fundamental capacity limitations of the mobile communications concept over communication channels that vary with time. The outcomes of the project will suggest possible solutions to the capacity limitations.Read moreRead less
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.

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.

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.

Australia and many other countries face the problem of disseminating vital medical, local, and personal data in case of emergency and natural disasters when the main telecommunications infrastructure is disrupted. A similar outreach problem exists in rural areas where such infrastructure doesn't exist or is limited. This project aims at providing a feasible data dissemination solution for such disruptions. It also promises a new framework for regular data communications in rural areas through efficient inter-connection with commercial networks. Upon completion, Australia will be in forefront of technologies related to the increasingly important theme of emergency and medical communications and data delivery, amongst other applications.Read moreRead less

Current Internet only supports limited quality of service (QoS) within isolated domains. This project allows critical applications to be deployed over the global Internet. The project employs a programmable architecture for composing services and intelligent software elements for negotiating acceptable QoS responses for individual application flows over multiple administrative domains. The architecture employs DiffServ's aggregation property to make it scalable for the Internet core. Successful outcomes would open the floodgates, allowing the development and deployment of applications such as high quality videoconferences, live sport broadcasts, remote medical services, network games, real-time on-line educations, and multimedia distributions.

Fair Intelligent Quality of Service Control and Path Discovery Mechanisms for Internet Scalable Architectures. Until now the Internet only provides best effort service without guaranteeing the timeliness or actual delivery of data.

Until now the Internet only provides best effort service without guaranteeing the timeliness or actual delivery of data. Quality of Service (QoS) architectures have been proposed but not deployed due to a fundamental problem: either the architecture is not scalable or it does not guarantee end-to-end QoS. The project tackles the problem by introducing mechanisms for network path discovery in the network core. The solution allows an integration of both scalability and end-to-end QoS architectures. The outcomes allow network providers to provision network resources efficiently, to develop competitive Internet-based products; and the service providers to develop quality services such as high quality IP phone, multimedia distributions.
