Optimal LAP Altitude for Maximum Coverage

Akram Al‐Hourani, Sithamparanathan Kandeepan, Simon Lardner · 24 Jul 2014

Low-altitude aerial platforms (LAPs) have recently gained significant popularity as key enablers for rapid deployable relief networks where coverage is provided by onboard radio heads. These platforms are capable of delivering essential wireless communication for public safety agencies in remote areas or during the aftermath of natural disasters. In this letter, we present an analytical…

Power of Deep Learning for Channel Estimation and Signal Detection in OFDM Systems

Hao Ye, Geoffrey Ye Li, Biing‐Hwang Juang · 28 Sep 2017

This letter presents our initial results in deep learning for channel estimation and signal detection in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In this letter, we exploit deep learning to handle wireless OFDM channels in an end-to-end manner. Different from existing OFDM receivers that first estimate channel state information (CSI) explicitly and then detect/recover the transmitted…

Deep Learning for Massive MIMO CSI Feedback

Chao-Kai Wen, Wan-Ting Shih, Shi Jin · 22 Mar 2018

In frequency division duplex mode, the downlink channel state information (CSI) should be sent to the base station through feedback links so that the potential gains of a massive multiple-input multiple-output can be exhibited. However, such a transmission is hindered by excessive feedback overhead. In this letter, we use deep learning technology to develop CsiNet,…

Secure Wireless Communication via Intelligent Reflecting Surface

Miao Cui, Guangchi Zhang, Rui Zhang · 28 May 2019

An intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) can adaptively adjust the phase shifts of its reflecting units to strengthen the desired signal and/or suppress the undesired signal. In this letter, we investigate an IRS-aided secure wireless communication system where a multi-antenna access point (AP) sends confidential messages to a single-antenna user in the presence of a single-antenna…

Intelligent Reflecting Surface Versus Decode-and-Forward: How Large Surfaces are Needed to Beat Relaying?

Emil Bjornson, Ozgecan Ozdogan, Erik G. Larsson · 31 Oct 2019

The rate and energy efficiency of wireless channels can be improved by deploying software-controlled metasurfaces to reflect signals from the source to the destination, especially when the direct path is weak. While previous works mainly optimized the reflections, this letter compares the new technology with classic decode-and-forward (DF) relaying. The main observation is that very…

IEEE Wireless Communications Letters template — frequently asked questions

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