《IEEE通讯快报》在一个快速的出版周期中出版了短篇论文，介绍了不同媒体和渠道（包括电线、地下、波导、光纤和存储渠道）通信技术的最新进展。鼓励理论贡献（包括新技术、概念和分析）和实际贡献（包括系统实验和原型以及新应用）。本杂志主要讨论通信系统的物理层和链路层。
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
