Combinatorial structures for computer security and communication. Hadamard matrices in their various guises arise many times in the study of reliable communications and secure communications. The aim of this research project is to use the theory of cyclotomy in both fields and rings to find new number theoretic results which will then be used to obtain new with zero or small autocorrelation functions.

The aim of this research project is to use the theory of cyclotomy in both fields and rings to find new number theoretic results which will then be used to obtain new with zero or small autocorrelation functions.
The significance of this research is to propose new construction of Hadamard matrices and block designs for computer security and wireless network communication.
We expect some new classes of Hadamard matrices and block designs can be constructed for security and communication applications and several papers would be submitted or published.

Coping with Chaos: Towards Efficient and Robust Wireless Networks through Opportunistic Cooperation. There is a tremendous uptake of short-range wireless technologies in consumer products. However, the ever-increasing network densities and uncoordinated deployment of devices compound the chaotic nature of wireless systems. Current technologies do not operate efficiently in high-density networks, degrading the user experience considerably. This research project will produce groundbreaking methods ....Coping with Chaos: Towards Efficient and Robust Wireless Networks through Opportunistic Cooperation. There is a tremendous uptake of short-range wireless technologies in consumer products. However, the ever-increasing network densities and uncoordinated deployment of devices compound the chaotic nature of wireless systems. Current technologies do not operate efficiently in high-density networks, degrading the user experience considerably. This research project will produce groundbreaking methods in network design and operation, where devices actively coordinate their actions for the benefit of all users. There is a huge opportunity for the Australian industry to become a world leader in this fast-growing space, and our work will facilitate new commercial enterprises as well as showcase Australian research in the area.Read moreRead less
Novel Architecture for Next Generation Wireless Relay Networks. The proposed project will provide a diverse range of benefits for the nation, by providing future solutions to address a number of key telecommunication networking requirements in Australia. One such area is the provision of broadband connectivity to rural and remote regions of Australia. It is well known, that wireless relay networks could potentially provide low-cost networking infrastructure for rural and remote communities.

The proposed project will provide a diverse range of benefits for the nation, by providing future solutions to address a number of key telecommunication networking requirements in Australia. One such area is the provision of broadband connectivity to rural and remote regions of Australia. It is well known, that wireless relay networks could potentially provide low-cost networking infrastructure for rural and remote communities. The solutions developed in this project will enable a wider deployment of such networks, as they would increase the capacity of these networks both in terms of bandwidth and their coverage. This is of major benefit to Australia, due to our large desert land-mass and sparsely populated remote and rural communities.Read moreRead less
Modelling Virtual Transport Channel for Future Multimedia Heterogeneous Networks. Recent advances in network bandwidth and processing power have led to the emergence of real time multimedia streaming applications and it is expected that such applications will become an even more dominant source of traffic in future computer networks.

Recent advances in network bandwidth and processing power have led to the emergence of real time multimedia streaming applications and it is expected that such applications will become an even more dominant source of traffic in future computer networks. Quality of service studies for real-time applications in high-speed networks, point to the importance of the transport layer functionality in admission control, monitoring end-to-end delays, and network bandwidth adaptability. The project will study, design, develop and analyse a comprehensive model for the virtual transport layer to satisfy the necessary quality of service requirements for the next generation of multimedia-based applications.Read moreRead less
