  • University of Southern Queensland Design
    University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Engineering and Surveying Design, Development and Implementation of Innovative & Pervasive Applications using Emerging Communication Technologies for Highly Mobile Organisations A Dissertation submitted by Keyurkumar Jayantibhai Patel, BE, MEng For the Award of Engineering Doctorate Principal Supervisor Dr Wei Xiang Associate Supervisor Associate Professor Nigel Hancock Abstract Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry is rapidly expanding, constantly changing and oriented around emerging technologies. In recent times, research data from industry skills demand and job advertisements shows that there is clearly vast skills shortages to develop applications leading to computer and telecommunications networks for financial, banking, energy, health, engineering, aviation, tourism, hospitality and education sectors. Applications based on the wireless technologies both short range (Bluetooth® and IEEE 802.11x family) and long range (next generation cellular technologies) reliant on telecommunication networks are growing at an alarming rate with an increased demand for security, quality of service, scalability, mobile multimedia, bandwidth usage, infrastructure and innovation. This demand brings major technological challenges for the management, developers and end-users in the ICT sector. This dissertation presents an investigation into these challenges in form of a decade of individual professional projects requiring fundamental design from the principles of wireless communications.
