Summary
User-based Radio Spectrum Harvesting System. Demand on wireless traffic is estimated to increase more than one thousand-fold in the next 10 years. As existing networks are quickly becoming overloaded, this project aims to improve radio spectrum utilisation by harvesting temporarily unused spectrum holes to accommodate future traffic. The proposed spectrum harvesting system is cost-effective as it will rely on a software that runs on users' devices to sense and report spectrum holes to mobile ser ....User-based Radio Spectrum Harvesting System. Demand on wireless traffic is estimated to increase more than one thousand-fold in the next 10 years. As existing networks are quickly becoming overloaded, this project aims to improve radio spectrum utilisation by harvesting temporarily unused spectrum holes to accommodate future traffic. The proposed spectrum harvesting system is cost-effective as it will rely on a software that runs on users' devices to sense and report spectrum holes to mobile service providers. An unprecedented communications framework that incentivises both users and service providers to harvest and trade/share radio spectrum holes will be developed. It will reduce the costs of the radio spectrum, allowing cheaper and better mobile data services for the Australian public.Read moreRead less
Efficient cross-layer coding techniques for wireless networks. This project is proposed to develop novel wireless communication/networking design theory and practical strategies based on the emerging network coding technique. The expected outcomes can be used to substantially increase network throughput and reliability of future wireless services, such as wireless Internet and mobile broadcasting.
