Few-mode transmission: harnessing the capacity of optical fibres. Optical fibres are widely deployed for carrying internet traffic. This project aims to study breakthrough technologies to dramatically increase the capacity of optical fibres. The project will help maintain Australia at the leading edge of the information age as well as providing exciting opportunities for training research associates and students.
Signal Processing for Reconfigurable Antennas – a Multidisciplinary Approach for Next Generation Wireless Communications. To satisfy the enormous demand for wireless applications with scarce radio spectrum, new technologies must be researched, developed, and then employed. Reconfigurable antennas, through morphing their physical structures with various switches, can adapt to the radio propagation environment, thereby increasing spectrum efficiency and power efficiency of wireless communications. ....Signal Processing for Reconfigurable Antennas – a Multidisciplinary Approach for Next Generation Wireless Communications. To satisfy the enormous demand for wireless applications with scarce radio spectrum, new technologies must be researched, developed, and then employed. Reconfigurable antennas, through morphing their physical structures with various switches, can adapt to the radio propagation environment, thereby increasing spectrum efficiency and power efficiency of wireless communications. This project aims to design signal processing algorithms for achieving all the benefits that reconfigurable antennas can provide for wireless communications. An important outcome of this research is sound channel models validated by extensive field measurement data.Read moreRead less

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

Wireless networks are undergoing an exciting paradigm shift from carefully planned cellular networks to heterogeneous networks (coexistence of a multitude of base stations of different types), where users may also be equipped with wireless energy harvesting capability. A fundamental requirement of these next generation technologies is the need to achieve synchronisation among the different base stations and mobile users. This project will develop the fundamental theory and advanced synchronisation techniques for future wireless networks. The expected outcomes will enable wireless networks to meet the increasing demand for higher data rates and extend the battery life of mobile users, benefitting the consumers and the Australian economy.Read moreRead less

The revenue generated from traditional telecommunication services is continuing to drop. New value-added services such as multimedia services become the fastest growing revenue-generating sector in Australia's telecommunications industry. The ubiquitous presence of scaling behaviour in network traffic presents a big challenge for delivering better Quality-of-Service (QoS) which is demanded by the new services. A complete understanding of the scaling behaviour and its impact is very important. This research addresses a key problem of defining the timescale range of interest for the scaling behaviour. The research outcome benefits a number of areas, which are all critical for developing enhanced QoS support and better network management.Read moreRead less
