Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has announced a $2 million partnership with a leading Chinese University to research advanced wireless technologies, including the development of 4G and 5G mobile networks.

CSIRO’s Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Centre is to join forces with the Beijing University of Post and Telecommunications (BUPT) to establish the Australia-China Research Centre for Wireless Communications.

CSIRO was a world leader in creating the ubiquitous wireless LAN technology (IEEE802.11.a/g) and, more recently, the world’s first 6Gigabit/s wireless link.

BUPT has world-leading expertise in Time Division Duplexing (TDD) technologies, which enable up and down links to use the same frequency band. It led the development of the world-first 4G TDD trial network in China.

“CSIRO’s wireless lab, based at Marsfield in Sydney, has comprehensive world-class capabilities in wireless communications including antennas, microwave and mm-wave technologies, signal processing and networking,” the Research Director of the CSIRO ICT Centre’s Wireless Technologies Laboratory, Dr Jay Guo says.

“The new Australia-China research centre will be a hub for long-term and broader collaboration between the wireless research communities in Australia and China”, says Dr Guo.

“The partnership between CSIRO and BUPT specifically, and between Australia and China in general, will promote cross-fertilisation in science, and provide an excellent opportunity for the researchers to make a major impact on the world market.”

Funding for the Australia-China Research Centre for Wireless Communications is courtesy of CSIRO, BUPT, the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), and a $500,000 grant from the Federal Government’s Australia-China Special Fund for Scientific and Technical Cooperation. The Centre will be officially launched in March.
