A new erasure resilient technique for encoding internet packets. Efficient internet communication tolerates losing some packets sent across the web by sending a bit more information than is required. Any holes in the transmission can be repaired using the redundant data. We propose a new transmission protocol that is much simpler to encode and repairs broken messages faster. This new approach, based on sending data plus summed versions of itself, has generic applicability across all packet switc ....A new erasure resilient technique for encoding internet packets.

Advanced coding techniques for next generation NAND Flash memories. Advanced coding techniques for next generation NAND Flash memories. This project aims to design low-power consuming coding schemes that can achieve the maximum coding gain for NAND Flash memories in Solid State Drives. Although these devices are replacing hard drives in laptops and provide enormous benefits in access speed and weight, they become unreliable the more they are used.

This project aims to design low-power consuming coding schemes that can achieve the maximum coding gain for NAND Flash memories in Solid State Drives. Although these devices are replacing hard drives in laptops and provide enormous benefits in access speed and weight, they become unreliable the more they are used. Advanced coding techniques are needed to solve problems caused by the very strict reliability/cost requirements of large storage systems. Allocating memory to coding redundant information can extend these devices’ lifetime. The design of codes and decoders with a low power consumption is expected to be the key enabling technology for next generation large storage devices.Read moreRead less

Innovative Decoding Methods for Increased Error Correction of Reed-Solomon Codes and Related Ring Codes. The project addresses the holy grail in the area of Reed-Solomon/BCH decoding, namely the derivation of algebraic soft-decision decoding algorithms. These codes are the most frequently used error-correcting block codes and their performance does not fulfill its full potential due to the lack of algebraic soft-decision decoding methods.

The project addresses the holy grail in the area of Reed-Solomon/BCH decoding, namely the derivation of algebraic soft-decision decoding algorithms. These codes are the most frequently used error-correcting block codes and their performance does not fulfill its full potential due to the lack of algebraic soft-decision decoding methods. In the project the system-theoretic behavioural view is employed, which has proved itself successful in this area in recent years. The project aims to connect soft-decision decoding methods with the decoding of ring codes. Outcomes are decoding methods and algorithms for the australian telecommunications industry that enable increased error correction for Reed-Solomon/BCH codes and related ring codes.Read moreRead less

Closing the Gap: Fundamental Capacity Limits for Interfering Wireless Networks and Practical Methods to Get There. Enhancing communication networks to achieve broadband data rates is now a national priority. Wireless communications is hugely important, with mobile phones, wireless computers, and wireless Internet access to homes, all rapidly growing areas.

Enhancing communication networks to achieve broadband data rates is now a national priority. Wireless communications is hugely important, with mobile phones, wireless computers, and wireless Internet access to homes, all rapidly growing areas. This project addresses the fundamental bottleneck of interference between links in wireless networks. Wireless unplugs the user and allows him/her to roam, and to set up ad-hoc networks with other users. This research will thus contribute to Australia's increased productivity. Just as importantly, this project addresses fundamental research; it will increase Australia's knowledge base and provide training for students and researchers in how to think about communications problems.Read moreRead less
