A Vision of 6G Wireless Systems: Applications, Trends, Technologies, and Open Research Problems

Walid Saad, Mehdi Bennis, Mingzhe Chen · 15 Oct 2019

The ongoing deployment of 5G cellular systems is continuously exposing the inherent limitations of this system, compared to its original premise as an enabler for Internet of Everything applications. These 5G drawbacks are spurring worldwide activities focused on defining the next-generation 6G wireless system that can truly integrate far-reaching applications ranging from autonomous systems to…

Securing ad hoc networks

Lidong Zhou, Zygmunt J. Haas · 1 Jan 1999

Ad hoc networks are a new wireless networking paradigm for mobile hosts. Unlike traditional mobile wireless networks, ad hoc networks do not rely on any fixed infrastructure. Instead, hosts rely on each other to keep the network connected. Military tactical and other security-sensitive operations are still the main applications of ad hoc networks, although there…

Learning IoT in Edge: Deep Learning for the Internet of Things with Edge Computing

He Li, Kaoru Ota, Mianxiong Dong · 1 Jan 2018

Deep learning is a promising approach for extracting accurate information from raw sensor data from IoT devices deployed in complex environments. Because of its multilayer structure, deep learning is also appropriate for the edge computing environment. Therefore, in this article, we first introduce deep learning for IoTs into the edge computing environment. Since existing edge…

A survey on position-based routing in mobile ad hoc networks

Martin Mauve, Joerg Widmer, Hannes Hartenstein · 1 Nov 2001

We present an overview of ad hoc routing protocols that make forwarding decisions based on the geographical position of a packet's destination. Other than the destination's position, each node need know only its own position and the position of its one-hop neighbors in order to forward packets. Since it is not necessary to maintain explicit…

RSVP: a new resource ReSerVation Protocol

Li Zhang, S. Deering, Deborah Estrin et al. · 1 Sep 1993

A resource reservation protocol (RSVP), a flexible and scalable receiver-oriented simplex protocol, is described. RSVP provides receiver-initiated reservations to accommodate heterogeneity among receivers as well as dynamic membership changes; separates the filters from the reservation, thus allowing channel changing behavior; supports a dynamic and robust multipoint-to-multipoint communication model by taking a soft-state approach in maintaining…

IEEE Network template — frequently asked questions

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