Future wireless networks will support huge amounts of mobile data traffic and numbers of terminals. To provide satisfactory service to emerging mass transportation systems such as self-driving cars, high-speed trains, and drones, it will be critical to incorporate the ability for wireless networks to function in high-mobility environments. The project aims to devise novel modulation techniques to support high-mobility communications with superior performance. The theoretical advances will be demonstrated using software-defined radios. These outcomes will provide fundamental scientific basis for deployment of future air interfaces. The project will benefit Australia in gaining a leading position in global telecommunications development.Read moreRead less
Secure and Energy Efficient mmWave Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Communications. Future wireless networks comprising unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in millimeter wave bands will provide ubiquitous connectivity to a massive number of devices, even in unexpected situations such as disaster relief. Common wireless security solutions are developed only for terrestrial infrastructures but are unsuitable for mmWave UAVs due to the high mobility and limited energy supply. This project aims to develop novel ....Secure and Energy Efficient mmWave Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Communications.

Advanced coding techniques for fast failure recovery in storage systems. This project aims to improve the performance of distributed data storage systems during the recovery of node-failures using advanced repair techniques for the underlying erasure coding schemes. Reed-Solomon codes, employed in most of current storage systems, for example Google Colossus, Baidu's Atlas, Yahoo Object Store, and Facebook's f4, require extremely high network bandwidth and disk I/O for failure recovery. Expected ....Advanced coding techniques for fast failure recovery in storage systems. This project aims to improve the performance of distributed data storage systems during the recovery of node-failures using advanced repair techniques for the underlying erasure coding schemes. Reed-Solomon codes, employed in most of current storage systems, for example Google Colossus, Baidu's Atlas, Yahoo Object Store, and Facebook's f4, require extremely high network bandwidth and disk I/O for failure recovery. Expected outcomes of this project include significantly improved repair schemes for Reed-Solomon codes with respect to the network bandwidth and disk I/O. The project will benefit data storage service providers, governments, businesses, hospitals, and schools.Read moreRead less

Structured Codes: Harnessing Interference to Improve Communication Networks. Interference occurs when a device involuntarily receives signals from unintended transmitters. Interference is the biggest challenge in modern large-scale communication networks. In contrast to conventional wisdom that avoids interference, this project aims to harness interference for its advantage. It will view interference as a form of computation that can be exploited advantageously using structured codes.

Interference is the biggest challenge in modern large-scale communication networks. In contrast to conventional wisdom that avoids interference, this project aims to harness interference for its advantage. It will view interference as a form of computation that can be exploited advantageously using structured codes. Developing theory and novel coding techniques, this project expects to deepen our understanding of interference, and significantly increase the network bandwidth efficiency. Expected outcomes will benefit a wide range of applications such as next-generation mobile systems, sensor networks, and cyber-physical systems.Read moreRead less
Advanced error control coding techniques for scalable blockchains. The project aims to investigate the application of error-control coding theory in blockchains, focusing on reducing the storage, computation, and communication overheads, as well as increasing the throughput of blockchain networks. The ambition is to develop coding theory in a completely new territory: decentralised, untrusted, and peer-to-peer networks.

The project aims to investigate the application of error-control coding theory in blockchains, focusing on reducing the storage, computation, and communication overheads, as well as increasing the throughput of blockchain networks. The ambition is to develop coding theory in a completely new territory: decentralised, untrusted, and peer-to-peer networks. The intended outcome is to greatly extend the current state of the art of the theory of error-control codes, previously investigated only in the context of centralised architectures, where a server coordinates every task. Practically, the project should provide significant benefits in terms of cost-effectiveness of blockchains, increase in their processing speed, and security enhancement. Read moreRead less
