Wireless sensor and communication networks with fixed and mobile nodes are rapidly becoming essential technologies for hostile environmental monitoring, battlefield surveillance and precision agriculture. However, due to the complexities associated with interconnected design issues involving sensors, autonomous vehicles and communication protocols, even very simple networks have proven to be difficult to design. This project proposes to intelligently employ higher capabilities of mobile nodes and develop methods for rapid deployment, maintenance and routing that are aware of location, energy, and security. The outcomes of this project will form the basis for design of intelligent wireless networks for defence and civilian applications.Read moreRead less

Architecture-based Open Network Management Systems for Next Generation Telecommunications. We aim to develop an open, policy-based architecture for the management of next generation telecommunications networks. It is expected that a comprehensive Open Architecture-based Telecommunications Management Network (AuTuMN) framework could be put in place to manage the network based on centralised policies and roles rather than having to handle individual users and elements. Significantly, the scient ....Architecture-based Open Network Management Systems for Next Generation Telecommunications.

Quality of Service in 3G Wireless Systems with Hybrid Networks. The increasing demand of providing Internet-based services over the mobile handsets has led to the transition from circuit-based 2G systems to packet-based network architectures in the emerging 3G systems. A major technical challenge for this paradigm shift is maintaining quality of services (QoS) for the existing data and voice and future Internet services such as streaming multimedia over such packet switching networks. This proje ....Quality of Service in 3G Wireless Systems with Hybrid Networks.

A major technical challenge for this paradigm shift is maintaining quality of services (QoS) for the existing data and voice and future Internet services such as streaming multimedia over such packet switching networks. This project aims to investigate end-to-end QoS solutions in the 3G systems. Australian mobile Internet and voice carriers will significantly benefit from this technology.Read moreRead less
Lightweight security framework for Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN). This project aims to design and implement a lightweight security framework for Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). Smart cities are estimated to have a worldwide market value of US$1.5 trillion by 2020, and LPWAN will provide connectivity to 90% of low bandwidth, smart city applications such as smart metres and smart buildings. Many of these applications are deployed in mission-critical infrastructure such as airport, trai ....Lightweight security framework for Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN). This project aims to design and implement a lightweight security framework for Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). Smart cities are estimated to have a worldwide market value of US$1.5 trillion by 2020, and LPWAN will provide connectivity to 90% of low bandwidth, smart city applications such as smart metres and smart buildings. Many of these applications are deployed in mission-critical infrastructure such as airport, train station, hospital and government campuses, which have strong security requirements. Before the ubiquitous deployment of such new technology, a strong security framework needs to be developed and implemented to minimise enormous economic and social consequences of future malicious attacks to LPWAN.Read moreRead less
