The National First Nations Research Network will mark a transformation in First Peoples livelihoods and Health Equity. Delivered and led by Indigenous Peoples for Indigenous Peoples, guided by self-determination, this Network will nurture culturally safe environments, connect expertise, catalyse research methods, training and development. The Network will create career pathways to achieve national capability and generational growth, for sustained health and wellbeing of our communities.
On-Line Identity, Interpersonal Relationships And Society. This project will provide a thoroughgoing account of the implications of the communication context provided by the Internet for the development of our identity as persons and as a society. Its significance is grounded in the fact that the context of our communication with others significantly affects the kind of relationships we develop and so the sort of person and society we become. The Internet has now emerged as a central communicati ....On-Line Identity, Interpersonal Relationships And Society.

Its significance is grounded in the fact that the context of our communication with others significantly affects the kind of relationships we develop and so the sort of person and society we become. The Internet has now emerged as a central communication context through which our professional, business and personal lives are pursued.Read moreRead less
Large-scale highly dynamic wireless networks: architecture and communication strategies design. This project will develop novel techniques for the modelling, design and management of highly dynamic networks, with wireless vehicular networks for autonomous vehicles being a typical but not sole example. Social and economical benefits are expected in the areas of road traffic management and road safety, communication and environment protection.

Summary
Cloud-based Massive MIMO Design for Future 5G Cellular Networks. As the radio spectrum for cellular services is quickly running out, the next generation cellular networks require some fundamental technology advances to meet the exponentially growing traffic demand. This project aims to produce a cloud-based massive multiple-input-multiple-output cellular system to achieve a substantially higher system capacity without additional spectrum. Key research issues will be addressed by developing novel ....Cloud-based Massive MIMO Design for Future 5G Cellular Networks. As the radio spectrum for cellular services is quickly running out, the next generation cellular networks require some fundamental technology advances to meet the exponentially growing traffic demand. This project aims to produce a cloud-based massive multiple-input-multiple-output cellular system to achieve a substantially higher system capacity without additional spectrum. Key research issues will be addressed by developing novel interference suppression techniques based on joint signal processing and cloud-based resource allocations. The project aims to leverage recent advances in cloud-based optimisation and utilise interference cancellation to provide fundamentally new approaches in increasing the capacity of cellular systems.Read moreRead less

Inter-cell interference modelling and control in future cellular systems. Small cells and frequency reuse are the key concepts in increasing the capacity of wireless cellular networks. However, the deployment of dense cells increases interference and limits the network capacity. This project will deliver novel interference control methods, capable of improving the spectral and energy efficiency in cellular networks.
Overcoming the wireless throughput bottleneck: new heterogeneous architectures and algorithms for high data rate mobile broadband. Mobile communication networks are facing a rapid increase in broadband data with traffic forecast to increase by 18 times over the next five years. This project will create novel techniques for the design of a new wireless multi-layered network architecture that will scale to meet this demand whilst minimising the energy footprint of the network.
Advancing the science of willpower: investigating the mechanisms and processes of self-control. Willpower or 'good' self control is important for success in our academic, occupational, and social lives. This project will use cutting-edge scientific methods to investigate how glucose, the primary fuel for body function, promotes 'good' self-control and stimulates regions in the brain important for self-control.
Overseeing the internet: new paradigms of network measurement. Like the electricity network, the internet is a core infrastructure, and so must be reliable and efficient. A gap in bandwidth supply is like a blackout in terms of lost business and productivity. This project will provide the measurement breakthroughs to ensure that network behaviour can be accurately and comprehensively monitored.

The Australian government has decided to support the timely rollout of fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication systems due to their potential for producing far-reaching economic and social benefits. This infrastructure rollout requires a quick, efficient deployment of the associated 5G base stations. The integration of 5G antenna arrays into existing 3G/4G base stations would alleviate the substantial cost increases and negative environmental impacts tied to acquiring new sites for them. This project aims to develop the theory and engineering methodologies necessary to successfully address the significant scientific challenges posed by the detrimental interference effects associated with the compact integration of 3G/4G/5G arrays.
