Scope:
------
IEEE Wireless Communications formerly known as Personal Communications:
The Magazine of Wireless Communication and Networking is designed for
individuals working in the communications and networking communities. It
covers technical and policy issues relating to personalized,
location-independent communications in all media (and combinations of
media), and at all protocol layers. Both wired and wireless communications
will be covered as well as computing, the mobility of people,
communicating devices, and personal services. Each issue of this
interdisciplinary magazine provides articles of high quality and depth
concerning the revolutionary technological advances in personal,
location-independent communications and computing.

Six times a year, articles in IEEE Wireless Communications examine
different aspects of key PCS concerns, such as:

    - Personal portable telephones, multimedia devices, digital assistants,
      and communicating palmtop computers.
    - Registration and handoff protocols, messaging, and communications and
      computing requirements.
    - Network control and management  for protocols associated with routing
      and tracking of mobile users.
    - Location-independent numbering plans for movable personal services.
    -  Personal   profiles,  personalized  traffic  filtering,   and  other
       database-driven aspects of personal communications.
    - Link access technologies and protocols.
    - Radio and infrared channel characterization and other microcell-based
      personal communication systems.
    - Satellite Systems and Global Personal Communications.
    - Traffic management and performance issues.
    - Policy  issues  in   spectrum  allocation,  industry  structure,  and
      technology evolution.
    - Applications, case studies, and field experience.
    - Intelligent vehicle highway systems.
    - Guides to the literature.
