A Mathematical Theory of Communication

Claude E. Shannon · 1 Jul 1948

The recent development of various methods of modulation such as PCM and PPM which exchange bandwidth for signal-to-noise ratio has intensified the interest in a general theory of communication. A basis for such a theory is contained in the important papers of Nyquist <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> and Hartley <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> on this subject. In…

A Mathematical Theory of Communication

Claude E. Shannon · 1 Oct 1948

In this final installment of the paper we consider the case where the signals or the messages or both are continuously variable, in contrast with the discrete nature assumed until now. To a considerable extent the continuous case can be obtained through a limiting process from the discrete case by dividing the continuum of messages…

Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems*

Claude E. Shannon · 1 Oct 1949

THE problems of cryptography and secrecy systems furnish an interesting application of communication theory. <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1</sup> In this paper a theory of secrecy systems is developed. The approach is on a theoretical level and is intended to complement the treatment found in standard works on cryptography. <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> There, a detailed study is…

The Wire-Tap Channel

A.D. Wyner · 1 Oct 1975

We consider the situation in which digital data is to be reliably transmitted over a discrete, memoryless channel (dmc) that is subjected to a wire-tap at the receiver. We assume that the wire-tapper views the channel output via a second dmc). Encoding by the transmitter and decoding by the receiver are permitted. However, the code…

Mathematical Analysis of Random Noise

S. O. Rice · 1 Jul 1944

THIS paper deals with the mathematical analysis of noise obtained by passing random noise through physical devices. The random noise considered is that which arises from shot effect in vacuum tubes or from thermal agitation of electrons in resistors. Our main interest is in the statistical properties of such noise and we leave to one…

Bell System Technical Journal template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Bell System Technical Journal format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Bell System Technical Journal template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IEEE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Bell System Technical Journal use?
Bell System Technical Journal uses Numbered (IEEE) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, "A representative article title," Bell System Technical Journal, vol. 12, no. 3, pp. 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Bell System Technical Journal?
No. DocuGuru generates the IEEEtran LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IEEE-ready Bell System Technical Journal document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Bell System Technical Journal template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Bell System Technical Journal format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Bell System Technical Journal?
Bell System Technical Journal is a engineering and computer science journal published by IEEE. DocuGuru's Bell System Technical Journal template matches IEEE's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Bell System Technical Journal PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Bell System Technical Journal template (the IEEEtran class) that is ready to submit to IEEE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Bell System Technical Journal template cost?
You can start writing in the Bell System Technical Journal template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Bell System Technical Journal PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
