- The paper style should be that of a conference paper.
- Papers should not focus on physical and link layer issues as this is not a course in radio communication systems, but rather the papers should look at things which have an impact on the architecture or upon which the architecture has an effect.
- If there are multiple students in a project group, the report may be in the form of a collection of papers, with each paper suitable for submission to a conference or journal.
- Contribution by each member of the group - must be clear (in the case where the report is a collection of papers - the role of each member of the group can be explained in the overall introduction to the papers.
- The report should clearly describe: (1) what you have done and (2) who did what; if you have done some implementation and measurements you should describe the methods and tools used, along with the test or implementation results, and your analysis.
- Each final report should include an extra page (which does not count in the length of your report) with a one paragraph summary of each of your two reviewers' comments and a paragraph in response to each of these paragraphs. You should identify each reviewer by name and indicate their e-mail address.
- Final Report: written report is due Sunday 12-Mar. 2017 at 23:59 + oral presentations scheduled during week 11 (13-17 March 2017) at a location to be announced.

- Late assignments will not be accepted. Papers which are submitted after the deadline will be graded, but the grading might not be completed before the end of the term.
- Note that it is permissible to start working well in advance of the deadlines!
- Language: the report can be written in Swedish or English (NB: I can provide better feedback if the report is written in English.)
- For your document, you should be sure to use A4 sized paper rather than US letter.
- For those using LaTeX, you can improve the look of the document by:
  - switching to using PostScipt fonts (instructions)
  - You can also turn off hyphenation or at least limit its use with "\hyphenpenalty=5000 \tolerance=1000"
  - Gilles Bertrand has some nice LaTeX tutorials, for example how to draw call flows and Markov chains using the xy package
Oral presentations: Each group should present their results in 15 minutes or less. The presentation should not be more than 15 minutes, given the 20-minute timeslot this gives time for a couple questions and changing presenters. if there are multiple days of presentations, you only need to attend the day you present.
