Test-bed for Wide-Area Software Defined Networking Research. Test bed for wide-area software defined networking research: This project aims to develop a wide-area test bed, spanning ten organisations, for conducting research and experimentation in the emerging disruptive technology of Software Defined Networking (SDN). SDN is likely to bring long-term transformation to the networking industry, much like cloud computing did, by enabling dynamic virtualised elastic network services under software ....Test-bed for Wide-Area Software Defined Networking Research. Test bed for wide-area software defined networking research: This project aims to develop a wide-area test bed, spanning ten organisations, for conducting research and experimentation in the emerging disruptive technology of Software Defined Networking (SDN). SDN is likely to bring long-term transformation to the networking industry, much like cloud computing did, by enabling dynamic virtualised elastic network services under software control. The test bed will empower Australian researchers in network technologies and dependent applications (for example, multimedia and security) to collaboratively develop and demonstrate novel ideas at scale. This is expected to benefit Australia by giving our researchers international recognition in this nascent area, and developing a national talent pool for local industry.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

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
Enhancing Internet of Everything content acquisition, distribution, and security using software defined networking. The aim of this project is to develop novel frameworks and algorithms that improve video streaming experience across multiple interconnected content distribution networks. The novelty of the scheme is in optimally coupling cache server selection with network path control using software defined networking technology.

The aim of this project is to develop novel frameworks and algorithms that improve video streaming experience across multiple interconnected content distribution networks. The novelty of the scheme is in optimally coupling cache server selection with network path control using software defined networking technology. The intended outcomes of this project are the development and demonstration of algorithms and mechanisms for efficient Internet content delivery to achieve unprecedented user experience. The proposed project is expected to lead to commercial outcomes with consequent economic and social benefits, while strengthening Australia’s leadership in the emerging area of software defined networking.Read moreRead less
Re-engineering internet timekeeping for scalability, accuracy and trust. This project aims to define and solve problems underpinning a secure and extensible system for network timekeeping, and implement and test a prototype under realistic conditions over the Internet. All computers incorporate a software clock, essential to software applications. A network is an inexpensive and convenient way to synchronise these clocks, but the Internet currently depends on an unreliable and insecure approach. ....Re-engineering internet timekeeping for scalability, accuracy and trust. This project aims to define and solve problems underpinning a secure and extensible system for network timekeeping, and implement and test a prototype under realistic conditions over the Internet. All computers incorporate a software clock, essential to software applications. A network is an inexpensive and convenient way to synchronise these clocks, but the Internet currently depends on an unreliable and insecure approach. The expected outcome will be trusted, accurate and reliable software clocks that support applications like cloud computing, billing systems and secure communications, which could become the timekeeping system for the Internet and the Internet of Things.Read moreRead less
A personalised social network based location search and recommender system. Inspired by the advance and popularity of social networks, this project will investigate new personalised recommendation techniques in social networks. Mobile services will be developed for users to search and obtain recommendations as they wish based on their social relationships and behaviour in the social group.
