Inter-cell interference modelling and control in future cellular systems. Small cells and frequency reuse are the key concepts in increasing the capacity of wireless cellular networks. However, the deployment of dense cells increases interference and limits the network capacity. This project will deliver novel interference control methods, capable of improving the spectral and energy efficiency in cellular networks.
Overcoming the wireless throughput bottleneck: new heterogeneous architectures and algorithms for high data rate mobile broadband. Mobile communication networks are facing a rapid increase in broadband data with traffic forecast to increase by 18 times over the next five years. This project will create novel techniques for the design of a new wireless multi-layered network architecture that will scale to meet this demand whilst minimising the energy footprint of the network.

The Australian government has decided to support the timely rollout of fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication systems due to their potential for producing far-reaching economic and social benefits. This infrastructure rollout requires a quick, efficient deployment of the associated 5G base stations. The integration of 5G antenna arrays into existing 3G/4G base stations would alleviate the substantial cost increases and negative environmental impacts tied to acquiring new sites for them. This project aims to develop the theory and engineering methodologies necessary to successfully address the significant scientific challenges posed by the detrimental interference effects associated with the compact integration of 3G/4G/5G arrays.

What to do about WiFi Congestion? New methods for dense, wireless networks. This project aims to design and analyse new protocols for (wireless) WiFi networks. The demand on current WiFi networks is escalating at a tremendous rate. WiFi uses the unlicensed radio spectrum, so innovation can occur more easily over WiFi than over carrier-owned networks. WiFi also provides data offloading from severely congested cellular wireless networks. Unfortunately, the current WiFi multiple access protocols we ....What to do about WiFi Congestion? New methods for dense, wireless networks. This project aims to design and analyse new protocols for (wireless) WiFi networks. The demand on current WiFi networks is escalating at a tremendous rate. WiFi uses the unlicensed radio spectrum, so innovation can occur more easily over WiFi than over carrier-owned networks. WiFi also provides data offloading from severely congested cellular wireless networks. Unfortunately, the current WiFi multiple access protocols were not designed to handle closely packed WiFi networks and the resulting interference. This project takes a novel approach to develop algorithms that are much more robust to interference, and which use simple, distributed mechanisms to feed channel state information back from the receiver to the transmitter to maximise performance.Read moreRead less
