Public Wi-Fi as Urban Infrastructure - the Australian Case. This research positions publicly provided Wi-Fi as a type of urban and civic infrastructure and asks whether there is a sound case for public investment in public Wi-Fi by local governments. Australia lags behind much of the world in providing public wireless internet access, but a surge of investment is closing the gap. This field-based research aims to appraise rationales for public Wi-Fi provision by examining the social, economic an ....Public Wi-Fi as Urban Infrastructure - the Australian Case. This research positions publicly provided Wi-Fi as a type of urban and civic infrastructure and asks whether there is a sound case for public investment in public Wi-Fi by local governments. Australia lags behind much of the world in providing public wireless internet access, but a surge of investment is closing the gap. This field-based research aims to appraise rationales for public Wi-Fi provision by examining the social, economic and civic impacts of network use. This project aims to fill major empirical and knowledge gaps about investment rationales, uses, and impacts of public Wi-Fi networks, and inform development of urban and communications policies.Read moreRead less
Moving media: mobile internet and new policy modes. Moving Media' is a comprehensive study of Australian mobile internet, how the infrastructures are evolving, how people use these convergent technologies, and how traditional and new modes of media policy respond. The project will advance our understanding of this vital area of future media, providing evidence to inform better policy and regulation.
Exploiting dynamic information in mobile networks. Mobile and wireless networks are ideal for Australia as they provide both low set-up costs and environmentally robust infrastructures. Exploiting mobility to enhance efficiency and cost will place Australia at the forefront of research in mobile networking and will contribute to the worldwide effort towards sustainability and survivability.
Local computations in dynamic networks. This project aims to identify and exploit dynamic networks, and investigate how locally available knowledge affects the computability or the communication complexity of solving a problem. Mobile, wireless, social and other ubiquitous communication networks involve autonomous and highly dynamic entities, but these are often treated as a liability instead of an asset, even when they enhance the network. Local knowledge in the entities’ neighbourhood can make ....Local computations in dynamic networks.

Summary
Low-complexity factor-graph-based receiver design for bandwidth-efficient communication systems over doubly selective channels. This project aims to solve challenging problems in future wireless communications using graph-based signal processing techniques. It will provide practical solutions for future broadband mobile communications to the bush and high-speed underwater acoustic communications in the oceans that are particularly important to Australia.
Optimising throughput and Delay in network coded systems. This project addresses one main disadvantage of network coding: decoding delay. By solving this issue, we will unlock the true potential of network coding: delivery of high data rates in wireless and wireline networks. This will make network coding an attractive choice for live video streaming and mission-critical delay-sensitive applications.
