Foundations for future wireless networks. Most of us have first-hand experience with temperamental wireless communications devices that don't meet our expectations. This project will deliver new technologies that enable lower costs, through more efficient use of radio spectrum. It will deliver more reliable and higher speed wireless broadband with better coverage, even to highly mobile users.
Compression of distributed data: bridging the gap between theory and practice. In bushfire and tsunami early warning systems, environmental monitoring and healthcare applications, distributed sensors collect and transmit correlated data. This project will design novel data compression algorithms that exploit this correlation to dramatically increase the performance of existing networks and enable new applications.
