Advancing 5G/6G, Generative AI, IoT Technologies for sustainable, agile, and resilient networking systems. Our team, with three ARC DECRA's and two ARC Future and Industry Fellows, have delivered numerous projects with more than $15M funded by ARC, government, and world-leading industry partners. Our cutting edge technologies and facilities, and award winning research outputs, in AI-empowered 5G/6G, networking, and cybersecurity, have laid the foundation for inventions/patents granted to industry, including Intel, Nokia, Apple, IBM, and GE.

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, DoD, our research has delivered more than a dozen US patents, prototypes, demos, and working systems for global partners, communities, e.g., in  Europe, US, Vietnam, Australia. Our pioneering work on AI-empowered communications/networking has sparked global interest in applying AI to communications and networking that is now a critical part of the 5G Advanced standard then the 6G agenda.
