Reliable bi-directional machine-type communications for smart agriculture. This project aims to develop innovative solutions for agricultural machine-type communications to provide robust and bi-directional coverage for remote agriculture areas with difficult terrain, by leveraging smart-sensor-enabled, energy-efficient uplink transmissions and ultra-reliable downlink transmissions. Machine-type communications have been recognised as a key enabler for the future smart agriculture and smart farms ....Reliable bi-directional machine-type communications for smart agriculture. This project aims to develop innovative solutions for agricultural machine-type communications to provide robust and bi-directional coverage for remote agriculture areas with difficult terrain, by leveraging smart-sensor-enabled, energy-efficient uplink transmissions and ultra-reliable downlink transmissions. Machine-type communications have been recognised as a key enabler for the future smart agriculture and smart farms. The project will use novel agricultural machine-type communication theories and develop test-beds to enable the smart agricultural applications. This is expected to contribute to the crucial communication infrastructures for smart farms, which will lead to higher agricultural productivity and national economy.Read moreRead less
Scheduling and quality of service in Long Term Evolution telecommunications. There is an explosion of mobile telecommunications with over 50 billion connections expected by 2020. The next generation of mobile broadband will be based on a new technology known as Long Term Evolution (LTE) and, in this context, the goal of this project is to improve the efficiency of these systems by developing new techniques for scheduling.
Safer roads through wireless communications. Each year, about 1,300 people die, and almost 30,000 are injured on Australian roads. Vehicle manufacturers are currently trialling innovative systems that will allow vehicles to wirelessly share their position and warn the driver of unsafe situations. This project will add new features to these systems, improving their safety benefits.
Creating a smart city through internet of things. This project will deliver smart new ways of urban monitoring using ubiquitous sensing and data analysis for city management and sustainability. It will deliver researcher training, global clientele for local technology and a platform for local industry growth.
