Description

Cell-Free Wide-Area mm-Wave Communications. Future communication networks need massive bandwidth for time-critical data applications, such as autonomous cars, internet of things, and extended reality. This project will address the key challenge of exploiting the millimetre-wave (mm-wave) spectrum for outdoor wide-area future mobile communications. A novel cell-free network architecture is proposed, and will be optimised, providing new dynamic link management algorithms for practical implementation. This will overcome signal propagation and blockage constraints in the mm-wave spectrum. Other expected outcomes include planning tools for network operators. Many sectors will benefit from wide-area massive bandwidth including transportation, agriculture, mining, and emergency services.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.
