Cognitive radio: making software radios more personal

Joseph Mitola, Gerald Q. Maguire · 1 Jan 1999

Software radios are emerging as platforms for multiband multimode personal communications systems. Radio etiquette is the set of RF bands, air interfaces, protocols, and spatial and temporal patterns that moderate the use of the radio spectrum. Cognitive radio extends the software radio with radio-domain model-based reasoning about such etiquettes. Cognitive radio enhances the flexibility of…

A review of current routing protocols for ad hoc mobile wireless networks

E.M. Royer, Chai-Keong Toh · 1 Apr 1999

An ad hoc mobile network is a collection of mobile nodes that are dynamically and arbitrarily located in such a manner that the interconnections between nodes are capable of changing on a continual basis. In order to facilitate communication within the network, a routing protocol is used to discover routes between nodes. The primary goal…

GPS-less low-cost outdoor localization for very small devices

Nirupama Bulusu, John Heidemann, Deborah Estrin · 1 Jan 2000

Instrumenting the physical world through large networks of wireless sensor nodes, particularly for applications like environmental monitoring of water and soil, requires that these nodes be very small, lightweight, untethered, and unobtrusive. The problem of localization, that is, determining where a given node is physically located in a network, is a challenging one, and yet…

Pervasive computing: vision and challenges

Mahadev Satyanarayanan · 1 Jan 2001

This article discusses the challenges in computer systems research posed by the emerging field of pervasive computing. It first examines the relationship of this new field to its predecessors: distributed systems and mobile computing. It then identifies four new research thrusts: effective use of smart spaces, invisibility, localized scalability, and masking uneven conditioning. Next, it…

Protocols for self-organization of a wireless sensor network

K. Sohrabi, Jhih-Siao Gao, V. Ailawadhi et al. · 1 Jan 2000

We present a suite of algorithms for self-organization of wireless sensor networks in which there is a scalably large number of mainly static nodes with highly constrained energy resources. The protocols further support slow mobility by a subset of the nodes, energy-efficient routing, and formation of ad hoc subnetworks for carrying out cooperative signal processing…

IEEE Personal Communications template — frequently asked questions

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