AIM AND SCOPE
The JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATIONS AND NET-
WORKS is published four times per year, and is committed to
publishing high-quality papers that advance the state-of-the-art and
practical applications of communications and information net-
works. Theoretical research contributions presenting new tech-
niques, concepts, or analyses, applied contributions reporting on
experiences and experiments, and tutorial expositions of permanent
reference value are welcome. The subjects covered by this journal
include all topics in communication theory and systems, wireless
communications, and networks and services.
COMMUNICATION THEORY AND SYSTEMS includes
modulation/signal design, fading/equalization, optical commu-
nications, transmission systems, access systems, synchronization,
speech processing, image processing, error control coding, source
coding/data compression, and complexity/cryptography.
WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS includes mobile and
portable communications systems, transmission modulation and
coding for mobile terrestrial and satellite systems, multicarrier
systems, cooperative communications, multi antenna/user systems,
ultra-wideband communications, wireless network design and
performance evaluation including traffic analysis, ad hoc and
sensor networks, MAC protocols, and generally simulation or
analytical evaluation of any wireless systems.
NETWORKS AND SERVICES includes network physical and
software architecture, communication protocols, network hardware
and software technologies, switching and routing, multimedia
techniques, Internet/Intranet protocols and services, mobility net-
works and protocols, operations and management, signaling and

Papers that have been published or submitted to other journals,
conferences, or books will not be considered for publication in the
JOURNAL OF COMMUNICATIONS AND NETWORKS.
Revised or extended versions of papers printed in conference,
workshop, or symposium proceedings may be submitted to this
Journal, with an appropriate cover note.
It is the policy of the KICS to own the copyright to the
technical contributions it publishes. Authors are required to obtain
company clearance before submission. Authors may make their
papers available on their own www sites, with acknowledgement of

After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the
author will be requested to pay a mandatory page charge of $90 per
printed page to cover part of the cost of publication. For papers in
excess of six printed pages, a mandatory page charge of $150 per
printed page will be requested for the printed pages beyond six
