IEEE COMMUNICATIONS MAGAZINE

IEEE Communications Magazine, considered by most to be their most important member benefit, provides timely information on all aspects of communications: monthly feature articles describe technology, systems, services, market trends, development methods, regulatory and policy issues, and significant global events. These articles are complemented by a variety of departments, including: Conference Calendar, Book Reviews, the Global Communications Newsletter, Scanning the Literature, New products and Product Spotlights, Society News, Your Internet Connection, News from JSAC, and the CommuniCrostic puzzle. Articles are tutorial in nature and written in a style comprehensible to readers outside the specialty of the article. Mathematical equations are generally not used (in justified cases up to three simple equations may be allowed with the consent of the Guest Editor. The inclusion of more than three equations requires permission from the Editor-in-Chief). References are included only to guide readers to more information on the topic; the reference list should not include every available source (a limit of ten references is recommended. The inclusion of more than 15 references requires permission from the Editor-in-Chief). Articles should not exceed 4500 words. Figures and tables should be limited to a combined total of six.
