Summary
Building intelligence into online video services by learning user interests. This project aims to build an intelligent video streaming service by characterising users’ view interest patterns and predict user interest changes through learning data from Internet to address the challenge caused by astronomic video population. The outcomes of the project will be of great values for users and our society by intelligently filtering out valueless, harmful, illegal and unwanted videos in advance.
Raising the Internet's Quality of Service through improved congestion management. This project aims to develop methods for improving the service quality of the internet by better management of congestion. Improved service quality will be evident to internet users in the form of reduced delay and data loss. The proposed research is significant because as well as improving service quality, it will facilitate delivery of internet services over poor quality communications infrastructure such as is p ....Raising the Internet's Quality of Service through improved congestion management. This project aims to develop methods for improving the service quality of the internet by better management of congestion. Improved service quality will be evident to internet users in the form of reduced delay and data loss. The proposed research is significant because as well as improving service quality, it will facilitate delivery of internet services over poor quality communications infrastructure such as is present in many remote and regional areas of Australia. It also will result in more efficient utilisation of telecommunications infrastructure. The project will deliver implementations in the form of software which is easily installed in any computer.Read moreRead less
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
Easing the Squeeze: Dynamic and Distributed Resource Allocation with Cognitive Radio. The radio spectrum is a scarce and valuable natural resource which is being squeezed by the rapid growth in wireless communications. Cognitive radios make efficient use of radio spectrum by dynamically reusing frequencies. This requires cognitive radios to sense the local environment and to control the interference caused to existing users of the spectrum. This project will design novel dynamic and distributed ....Easing the Squeeze: Dynamic and Distributed Resource Allocation with Cognitive Radio. The radio spectrum is a scarce and valuable natural resource which is being squeezed by the rapid growth in wireless communications. Cognitive radios make efficient use of radio spectrum by dynamically reusing frequencies. This requires cognitive radios to sense the local environment and to control the interference caused to existing users of the spectrum. This project will design novel dynamic and distributed resource allocation algorithms for cognitive radios in order to significantly improve their performance using techniques from extreme value theory, game theory and mechanism design and large random matrix theory.

Satellite Data Communications for Remote Sensing and Broadband Connectivity. The remote, distributed location of many of Australia's primary industries preclude the use of consumer-oriented terrestrial wireless broadband services. In many instances, satellite communications provides the only feasible means of connectivity for telemetry, supervisory control and data acquisition, tracking and fleet management. Meteorology, remote sensing, irrigation, mining, oil and gas exploration, and fisheries ....Satellite Data Communications for Remote Sensing and Broadband Connectivity. The remote, distributed location of many of Australia's primary industries preclude the use of consumer-oriented terrestrial wireless broadband services. In many instances, satellite communications provides the only feasible means of connectivity for telemetry, supervisory control and data acquisition, tracking and fleet management. Meteorology, remote sensing, irrigation, mining, oil and gas exploration, and fisheries are just a few examples of high-value applications of particular significance to Australia. This project will develop bandwidth efficient satellite communications technologies that greatly reduce cost and pave the way toward new market opportunities for broadband access and telemetry applications.

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
Characterisation of Internet Traffic Matrices. The benefits to the community of characterisation of Internet traffic matrices arise because this information is used in the design of efficient and reliable networks. This is a genuine example of using the data we have more cleverly, rather than throwing money at a problem. Better information will result in the Internet becoming more efficient, and therefore cheaper, and at the same time more reliable.
Ensuring the Robustness of IP Routing. The Internet is by its nature international, and so any such effort to model and understand it must be somewhat international. However, Australia has longer network paths to the rest of the world and the routing protocols' operation depends on this latency. This emphasizes why Australia must participate in such research: to ensure that Australian issues are considered when Internet protocols are designed. This project will directly deliver a more robust Int ....Ensuring the Robustness of IP Routing. The Internet is by its nature international, and so any such effort to model and understand it must be somewhat international. However, Australia has longer network paths to the rest of the world and the routing protocols' operation depends on this latency. This emphasizes why Australia must participate in such research: to ensure that Australian issues are considered when Internet protocols are designed. This project will directly deliver a more robust Internet for Australia, international exposure in an area of general interest, the potential for patents, and the development of commercially valuable expertise and measurement infrastructure.Read moreRead less
