Realizable Synchronization Techniques: Unlocking the Potential of Future Wireless Networks

Wireless networks are undergoing an exciting paradigm shift from carefully planned cellular networks to heterogeneous networks (coexistence of a multitude of base stations of different types), where users may also be equipped with wireless energy harvesting capability. A fundamental requirement of these next generation technologies is the need to achieve synchronization among the different base stations and mobile users. This project will develop the fundamental theory and advanced synchronization techniques for future wireless networks. The expected outcomes will enable wireless networks to meet the increasing demand for higher data rates and extend the battery life of mobile users, benefitting the consumers and the Australian economy
