Modern telecommunication systems are increasingly built on principles of iteration and feedback. By contributing to the knowledge base of iterative telecommunication systems, this project addresses important fundamental problems in the area of telecommunications. The Federal Government has clearly indicated that it recognises the importance that information and communications technology (ICT) plays in the economic and social fabric of Australia, through the recent Innovation Action Plan, Backing Australia's Ability. These technologies are key drivers of the information economy, the spawning of new businesses, the transformation of established industries, the opening up of new export markets, and the creation of new jobs.Read moreRead less
Advanced Space-Time Coded Multiuser Wireless Communications via Test-bed Development. Meeting the global demand for mobile and wireless communications depends critically on reliable and high rate data transfer. Unfortunately, communications medium idiosyncrasies pose formidable challenges. Very recently, in combatting this, major breakthroughs have been achieved whereby the use of multiple antennas allows for drastic data-rate increases. These advances use sophisticated Space-Time coding metho ....Advanced Space-Time Coded Multiuser Wireless Communications via Test-bed Development. Meeting the global demand for mobile and wireless communications depends critically on reliable and high rate data transfer. Unfortunately, communications medium idiosyncrasies pose formidable challenges. Very recently, in combatting this, major breakthroughs have been achieved whereby the use of multiple antennas allows for drastic data-rate increases. These advances use sophisticated Space-Time coding methods, and while they are causing great excitement in terms of their simulation performance, it is not clear how they will perform in practice, or in fact how they are to be realistically implemented. This project will address this issue by building a world-first testbed that implements a high rate wireless communications system using Space-Time and other coding methods.Read moreRead less

Participatory Wireless Sensor Networks. The investment in the Participatory Wireless Sensor Netwok (PWSN) research will ensure that Australia stays in the forefront of this innovative and disruptive technology. Since the PWSN concept leverages on the existing communication and sensing infrastructure, the entry cost for developing new business opportunities on it is low. There are ample opportunities for local companies (e.g. Internet service providers, mobile phone carriers and wireless service ....Participatory Wireless Sensor Networks.
