Dear Ms. Cai:

Thank you for submitting the paper, entitled "Efficient and Reliable Broadcast in Inter-Vehicle
Communications Networks: A Cross Layer Approach," to the IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology. Your paper has been assigned the identification number:  VT-2009-01212.

It is understood that this manuscript is entirely original, has not been copyrighted, published,  submitted, or accepted for publication elsewhere, and all necessary clearances and releases have been  obtained.

The manuscript will be assigned to an Associate Editor, who will pass it on to reviewers.  You will be notified via email when the review of this manuscript is completed.  Please refer to the paper number in any communications regarding your manuscript.

If this is a revision of a paper submitted previously (e.g. the paper number has a .R1 or .R2  etc.), then it will be forwarded to the same Associate Editor that handled the earlier version, so that the review process can continue.

You may check the review status of your manuscript via the IEEE Manuscript Central website at  http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tvt-ieee . When the review of your manuscript has been completed, you will be notified by email and at  that time reviewer comments will also be made available to you.

Please note that there is a mandatory page charge of US$220.00 for each Transactions page exceeding eight printed pages. This charge over the first eight pages is based on the final typeset length and not on manuscript length, and is a prerequisite for publication. Detailed instruction will accompany the page proofs. This charge is to offset the cost of publishing the Transactions.

************************************
With strong support from the IEEE VTS, the University of Waterloo library has developed an preprint server called Engine to provide open access to research results in vehicular technology.  Engine is ready to accept and publish papers.  The IEEE VTS strongly suggests that authors in VT areas submit their research papers (including this TVT submission) to Engine. By doing so, the results of your research will be immediately and freely available to your colleagues. Your paper will be disseminated more widely and earlier through the Engine Open Access Repository. Other researchers will be able to cite your paper immediately and those citations demonstrate the impact of your research even before your paper is published in a traditional journal or conference proceedings. Engine is fully compliant with IEEE copyright transfer requirements and will take care of many aspects of copyright transfer without requiring any further action on your part.

For statistics of the paper review/decision process, please visit the journal website given at the end of this email.

Thank you for considering our Transactions as a means of publication of your work. I hope you will  consider us again with regard to your future technical contributions.


Sincerely yours,

错误更正：
我没有认真地看“Dear Ms. Cai:"，就兴奋地以为是蔡威投稿IEEE，照成错误信息发布，特此检讨并且更正如下：
本文是毕远国的第二篇IEEE文章，由于第二作者也姓蔡，但是"Ms"，所以老毕委托她完成工作。
恭喜老毕！！！

谢谢赵老师指导！
