5G/6G Wireless Communications and IoT Networking Lab

Advancing 5G/6G, Generative AI, IoT Technologies for sustainable, agile, and resilient networking systems. Our team, with three ARC DECRA's and one ARC Future Fellow, have delivered more than a dozen projects (funded by ARC, government, and world-leading industry partners). Our cutting edge technologies/facilities and award winning research outputs, beyond publications and books, have led to numerous patents and working products with global real-life impacts.

Interconnecting our society

The 5G/6G Wireless Communications and IoT Networking Lab conducts research in AI-empowered communications, democratized cyberinfrastructure to enable Responsible and Auditable AI, Metaverse, immersive communications, V2X, Non-terrestrial networks (NTN), and drone communications. Our core focus is on modelling and analysing the impact emerging services and technologies on a massive number of devices, ultra-reliable communications and low latency communications. We also design protocols, AI-empowered edge network architectures, explore spectrum sharing for effective detection of incumbents, interference mitigation, multi-radio access technology coexistence, dynamic construction of radio environment maps for spectrum sharing, and economics-driven spectrum auctioning schemes.

We apply the latest advances in Generative AI to address different problems in 5G/6G communications, crossing PHY, MAC, NET, and applications layers, e.g., GenAI-enabled contents. We also investigate Generative AI implications on network security from the perspectives of both defenders and offenders, e.g., deepfake, phishing.

Powerful partnerships

Jointly funded by Intel, Nokia, Cisco and the Australian Research Council, our research has delivered more than a dozen US patents and several industry demos. Our researchers work closely with industry around the world, including on international standardisation efforts for the Spectrum Access System (US) and Licensed Shared Access (Europe).
