Abstract :
Each issue of the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (J-SAC) is devoted to a specific technical area within the scope of the IEEE Communications Society. Papers submitted to the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) must be targeted to a specific J-SAC issue for which a call for papers has been published. These calls for papers are published in J-SAC and in other appropriate publications of the IEEE Communications Society. In general, material which has been previously copyrighted, published, or accepted for publication will not be considered for publication in the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications. Exceptions to this rule include items that have had limited distribution, have been printed in Abstract form only, or have appeared in Convention Records or Digests. Please refer to the IEEE Policy on Self-Plagiarism. All papers are considered on the basis of their individual merit alone, and the fact that a paper may have been accepted for presentation at a conference does not ensure its acceptance for publication in the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications. In many cases, a conference paper must be substantially revised to meet the technical standards maintained by the Journal. A manuscript identical to or largely based upon a conference paper must be so identified. All papers are reviewed by competent referees and are considered in the basis of their significance, novelty, and usefulness to the Journal readership.
