Most bushfires in Australia usually occur in remote areas where network infrastructure is unavailable to support ICT services. Adopting Space-Air-Ground Integrated Network (SAGIN) can allow ICT services in an infrastructure-less environment like national parks in Australia to detect bushfires, initiate responses and alert other fire-prone sites. Carl's project aims to model such a system by interfacing lightweight solar-powered sensing devices residing on the ground with UAVs providing proximate computing facilities and on-demand networking support to reach out to Cloud and Satellites. The project investigating team will also develop the required software solutions to facilitate the proposed interfacing in real-time with an optimized packet loss rate. The feasibility and performance study of different communication standards, including mobile ad-hoc networking and opportunistic 5G multicasting within UAVs, will be conducted to realize the project.
