Global demand for high quality wireless communications poses significant challenges. The so-called "physical layer" is crucial, as this is where the vagaries of the wireless channel, including interference and limited bandwidth, are mitigated by sophisticated signal processing.
This project will conduct applied research to meet these physical layer challenges, providing solutions that feed directly into next generation wireless communication systems.
Uniquely, this project focuses on the transfer of research from theoretical genesis, through to realisation of silicon integrated
circuit "chips". This will maximise both the impact of the research
and the potential for significant national economic benefits to accrue.Read moreRead less

The intended outcomes of the project are to contribute to the global standardisation of M2M networks and the new type of world-class wireless infrastructure, as an integral part of the emerging digital society.Read moreRead less
Constant Envelope and Coded Modulation for Terrestrial and Satellite Radio. Modems for portable radio terminals must take advantage of state-of-the-art digital communications in order to stay commercially competitive. In particular they need to utilize less bandwidth and power for a fixed data rate. The approach here is to employ a parallel configuration of highly efficient error control codes, together with bandwidth efficient continuous phase modulation (CPM). The theoretical performance of su ....Constant Envelope and Coded Modulation for Terrestrial and Satellite Radio. Modems for portable radio terminals must take advantage of state-of-the-art digital communications in order to stay commercially competitive. In particular they need to utilize less bandwidth and power for a fixed data rate. The approach here is to employ a parallel configuration of highly efficient error control codes, together with bandwidth efficient continuous phase modulation (CPM). The theoretical performance of such a system is to be investigated using a novel information-theoretic technique, and the system will be optimised in terms of coding scheme and CPM complexity.Read moreRead less
Reconciliation strategies for continuous variable quantum key distribution. This project aims to advance a novel key distribution method, called quantum key distribution, which distributes secure keys using the quantum state of optical channels. Key distribution is a foundational part of data security, allowing digital keys to be securely exchanged between two or more parties, before they are used to protect and share information. The expected outcome is new rateless error correction codes desi ....Reconciliation strategies for continuous variable quantum key distribution. This project aims to advance a novel key distribution method, called quantum key distribution, which distributes secure keys using the quantum state of optical channels. Key distribution is a foundational part of data security, allowing digital keys to be securely exchanged between two or more parties, before they are used to protect and share information. The expected outcome is new rateless error correction codes designed specifically to implement quantum key distribution over long distances. Quantum key distribution is beneficial for ultra-secure communications as it avoids the vulnerability to weak random numbers and quantum-computing brute force attacks that currently threated the security of data protected by existing methods.

A fast and effective automated insider threat detection and prediction system. Threats from insiders directly compromises the security, privacy and integrity of Australian e-commerce, large databases and communication channels. This project will provide an essential step in combating this criminal activity by developing methods to detect such threats and secure the public's information against exposure and identity theft.
