IEEE and IEEE COMMUNICATIONS SOCIETY POLICIES

To be published in the IEEE WCNC 2012 Conference Proceedings and IEEE Xplore®, at least one Author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the FULL or LIMITED Rate and the paper must be presented at the conference. Non refundable registration fees must be paid prior to uploading the final IEEE formatted, publication ready version of the paper.

For authors with multiple accepted papers, one (1) full registration is valid for up to three (3) papers.

Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE WCNC 2012 Conference Proceedings and in IEEE Xplore®.

IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
