Millimeter Wave Mobile Communications for 5G Cellular: It Will Work!

Theodore S. Rappaport, Shu Sun, Rimma Mayzus et al. · 1 Jan 2013

The global bandwidth shortage facing wireless carriers has motivated the exploration of the underutilized millimeter wave (mm-wave) frequency spectrum for future broadband cellular communication networks. There is, however, little knowledge about cellular mm-wave propagation in densely populated indoor and outdoor environments. Obtaining this information is vital for the design and operation of future fifth generation…

Peeking Inside the Black-Box: A Survey on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI)

Amina Adadi, Mohammed Berrada · 1 Jan 2018

At the dawn of the fourth industrial revolution, we are witnessing a fast and widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in our daily life, which contributes to accelerating the shift towards a more algorithmic society. However, even with such unprecedented advancements, a key impediment to the use of AI-based systems is that they often lack…

Blockchains and Smart Contracts for the Internet of Things

Konstantinos Christidis, Michael Devetsikiotis · 1 Jan 2016

Motivated by the recent explosion of interest around blockchains, we examine whether they make a good fit for the Internet of Things (IoT) sector. Blockchains allow us to have a distributed peer-to-peer network where non-trusting members can interact with each other without a trusted intermediary, in a verifiable manner. We review how this mechanism works…

Artificial Intelligence in Education: A Review

Lijia Chen, Pingping Chen, Zhijian Lin · 1 Jan 2020

The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on education. Premised on a narrative and framework for assessing AI identified from a preliminary analysis, the scope of the study was limited to the application and effects of AI in administration, instruction, and learning. A qualitative research approach, leveraging the…

Wireless Communications Through Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces

Ertuğrul Başar, Marco Di Renzo, Julien de Rosny et al. · 1 Jan 2019

The future of mobile communications looks exciting with the potential new use cases and challenging requirements of future 6th generation (6G) and beyond wireless networks. Since the beginning of the modern era of wireless communications, the propagation medium has been perceived as a randomly behaving entity between the transmitter and the receiver, which degrades the…

IEEE Access template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the IEEE Access format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the IEEE Access 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 IEEE Access use?
IEEE Access 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," IEEE Access, vol. 12, no. 3, pp. 45–58, 2023.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to IEEE Access?
No. DocuGuru generates the ieeeaccess LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IEEE-ready IEEE Access 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 IEEE Access template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the IEEE Access format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is IEEE Access?
IEEE Access is a multidisciplinary, open access journal of the IEEE. It is a engineering and computer science journal, published by IEEE.
Can I export a submission-ready IEEE Access PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official IEEE Access template (the ieeeaccess class) that is ready to submit to IEEE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the IEEE Access template cost?
You can start writing in the IEEE Access template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready IEEE Access PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
