Design of Multi-Gigabit Millimeter Wave Cellular Networks

据预测，在接下来的十年内，数万亿的设备将连接到蜂窝网络，并导致移动的流量千倍地增长。这将导致严重的频谱短缺和蜂窝网络拥塞。大范围的毫米波频谱有可能满足未来蜂窝网络的容量需求。该项目旨在发展毫米波蜂窝通信的基础科学，这被认为是设计下一代蜂窝网络所必需的，其数据速率至少比当前蜂窝网络快三个数量级。研究成果有望为澳大利亚未来的移动的宽带网络基础设施建设提供基础和工具。

It has been predicted that within the next ten years trillions of devices will connect to cellular networks and cause a thousand-fold increase in mobile traffic. This will lead to a severe spectrum shortage and congested cellular networks. Large expanses of the millimetre-wave spectrum have the potential to meet the capacity demands of future cellular networks. The project aims to develop the fundamental sciences for millimetre-wave cellular communications, which thought to be essential for the design of next generation cellular networks with data rates at least three orders of magnitude faster than those in current cellular networks. The research outcomes are expected to provide the foundations and tools for building a future mobile broadband network infrastructure in Australia.
