It has been predicted that within the next ten years trillions of devices will connect to cellular networks and cause a thousand-fold increase in mobile traffic. This will lead to a severe spectrum shortage and congested cellular networks. Large expanses of the millimetre-wave spectrum have the potential to meet the capacity demands of future cellular networks. The project aims to develop the fundamental sciences for millimetre-wave cellular communications, which thought to be essential for the design of next generation cellular networks with data rates at least three orders of magnitude faster than those in current cellular networks. The research outcomes are expected to provide the foundations and tools for building a future mobile broadband network infrastructure in Australia.Read moreRead less

This project aims to propose novel privacy preserving schemes that can protect the privacy of individuals in the era of Internet of things and machine learning. In the recent years, most Australian organizations have been a target of privacy and cybersecurity attacks, affecting their data and network systems. The expected outcomes of this project are privacy preserving schemes that can prevent attackers from compromising the private information of individuals in IoT and machine learning services, and thus significantly improve the protection against cybersecurity attacks. Significant benefits in social wellbeing and security are expected for all industry, government, and service sectors that collect data about people.Read moreRead less
Dual-band antennas with digitally steerable beams made out of multi-state electromagnetic elements. A collection of antennas required for forthcoming wireless systems will be designed, made and tested. They are ideal for wireless on-body medical devices and wireless transmission of high-quality video and high-speed data. These systems will bring great benefits to wireless users and patients, including better quality of life and convenience.
Optimising throughput and Delay in network coded systems. This project addresses one main disadvantage of network coding: decoding delay. By solving this issue, we will unlock the true potential of network coding: delivery of high data rates in wireless and wireline networks. This will make network coding an attractive choice for live video streaming and mission-critical delay-sensitive applications.
Wideband Strongly-Truncated Composite Cavity-Resonator Antennas. A rapidly growing demand for fast wireless services calls for wideband communication systems with wideband antennas, which are compact, aesthetically appealing and inexpensive, yet have good performance.

A rapidly growing demand for fast wireless services calls for wideband communication systems with wideband antennas, which are compact, aesthetically appealing and inexpensive, yet have good performance. With novel concepts, this project aims to produce a new class of antennas that deliver impressive performance (bandwidth and gain) while taking up a dramatically reduced area in a way that was impossible before, increasing a figure-of-merit to up to seven times the state-of-the-art. Their planar geometry and simplicity lead to low cost. This is expected to create new knowledge, design methods and examples, prototypes, test results and guidelines required to design, optimise and make these versatile antennas for emerging robust broadband wireless systems.Read moreRead less
