- Summer Students:
- Summar Research Scholarships are
available for talented students
wishing ot do a few months research in Communication theory.
Typically, these scholarships include:
- A contribution towards your
economy-class airfare expenses to
and from Canberra
- A tax-free weekly allowance
- Fully paid accommodation and meals at a
residential college on
campus
- Please contact me to discuss this, you
will have to apply through
the official ANU/NICTA
Summer Scholarship programme website to be formally considered.
- An example summer scholarship project for
2005/2006 is
- Interleave-Division Multiple-Access (IDMA) Communication
IDMA is a new method of digital
communication that is very powerful and can approach the Shannon limit.
The technique is very good for multiple user communication as is
performed in a mobile phone connection from the phone to the
basestation. This project will investigate this method and develop a
simulation of this system to test and understand the method more
clearly. The project will allow the student to understand how an
advanced digital modem works and what some of the issues are in digital
modem design.
The purpose of this project is to develop
an advanced receiver for the IDMA method of digital reception. The
approach will be to read the literature before developing a simulation
platform in MATLAB to simulate the receiver concept. The student will
learn about digital modulation, decoding, and methods of reception of
IDMA. The project will provide the student with the opportunity to work
with people in the Wireless Signal Processing Program of NICTA/ANU.
The student will work with a number of researchers and will work with
other students to perform the task. Familiarity with MATLAB will be a
benefit.
