Dear Mr. Manzur Ashraf,
Congratulations - your paper #1569001531 ('Load
Regulated CSMA in Fading
Channels')
has
been accepted in
IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking
Conference 2007 - Phy / MAC.
The reviews of your manuscript are listed below or
can be found at http://edas.info/showPaper.php?m=1569001531
This year we received a record number of paper
submissions. All manuscripts were reviewed by at least 2 reviewers and the
final acceptance decision was based on their comments and scores. In total 1721
manuscripts were submitted and this is a record for WCNC.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. All instructions for the submission of final
papers are available on the WCNC 2007 website at http://www.ieee-wcnc.org/
2. Your final paper should be submitted no later
than the 5th of January 2007 to the IEEE (not EDAS) via the "Accepted
Papers Upload Inst"
link at the WCNC web site http://www.ieee-wcnc.org/
3. You have to fax or mail a signed copyright form
to the IEEE by the 5th of January 2007.
This and other information (file formats, audio-visual equipment, student travel grants) is also available on the
"Accepted Papers Upload Inst" web page.
4. The IEEE Communications Society Policy states
that all accepted WCNC
2007 technical paper presenters must register at
the FULL rate, ie. not at
the student rate. For authors presenting multiple papers, one FULL registration
is valid for up to three papers.
5 The paper will not appear in the conference
proceedings, unless these instructions have been followed.
6. The format of the presentation (oral or poster)
for your paper will be confirmed later. Approximately 10% of all accepted
papers will be presented as posters and the WCNC 2007 TPC would like to make it
explicitly clear that all papers whether presented in oral or poster forms are
of the same quality. That is no distinction in terms of quality will be used to
determine whether a paper is to be presented in oral or poster form.
7. If you need a VISA to enter
Looking forward to welcoming you to Hong Kong-
Wireless Gateway!
Best regards,
Ross Murch, TPC Chair
Chengshan Xiao Phy/MAC Program
Chair
Sonia Aissa Phy/Mac Program Chair

[Comment on strengths and weaknesses of the paper; note any ways you think the
paper can be improved] Very good presentation and variables etc are well
defined. Overall I think the paper is good written and is interesting to read.
Maybe some more simulation results would be in place.

[Comment on strengths and weaknesses of the paper; note any ways you think the
paper can be improved] Although I am not an expert in this area, I believe that
the contribution of this paper is limited. Equation(6~8)(13~16)(23~26)(28~32)
can be found in any standard textbook related to the probability. No simulation
results are provided for the Ricean distributed and Nakagami-m distributed signal envelop.

[Comment on strengths and weaknesses of the paper; note any ways you think the
paper can be improved] The only comment this reviewer has toward the paper is
its performance section, which includes only figures, two of which has only one
line. More performance curves will help the readers to gain more insight on the
analysis and how load regulated CSMA works.

[Comment on strengths and weaknesses of the paper; note any ways you think the
paper can be improved] This paper presented an analytical framework for
throughput analysis of the load regulated CSMA over fading channel. The main
results are of interest for protocol design of the CSMA/CD system. However,
there are some inconsistencies of the notational use and discussion in Sections
IV-V. For example, what is the relationship between probability of good channel
and probability of bad channel due to fading? Why the time during a cycle that
there is no conflict for channel usage follows (3) (where the symbol $\lambda$
(packet arrival rate?) is not listed in Table I)? The paper can be
significantly improved by reducing the Introduction and Related Work sections
and expand the problem formulation part. It is unclear
how those results based on statistical distributions of the signal envelop are
of practical importance compared with the throughput analysis presented in
Sections IV-V. The description on the purpose of simulation study and the
interpretation of the results are inadequate. It is very hard for the reviewer
to see the value of the analytical results and their relevance to protocol
design for throughput improvement.
