Comm Lit Review

Overview

Run communications-focused paper search with tighter source policy than a generic literature review. Default to formal publications, prioritize IEEE Xplore and ScienceDirect, then ACM Digital Library, and output a review that is structured for research use rather than casual browsing.

Read references/source-policy.md before searching. Use references/domain-taxonomy.md to classify the topic, references/venue-tiering.md to rank venues, and references/output-template.md to format the final answer.

Workflow

1. Classify the request

Decide whether the request is primarily about:

• Wireless PHY/MAC
• Networking / transport / congestion control
• Satellite / NTN / integrated space-air-ground systems
• Cross-layer optimization / scheduling / resource allocation
• Sensing / MEC / edge intelligence within communications systems

If the request is not clearly in communications systems research, fall back to a more general literature skill.

2. Lock the search policy

Apply these defaults unless the user overrides them:

• Databases first: IEEE Xplore, ScienceDirect, then ACM Digital Library, then broader web
• Publication bias: formal publications first, preprints second
• Time window: cover both foundational and recent work
  • Default split: foundational before 2022, recent from 2022 onward
• Output goal: research note, related-work summary, or comparison table rather than a raw search dump

If the user explicitly narrows scope, obey the narrower scope:

• only journals
• only IEEE / only ScienceDirect
• only top venues
• only LEO / only Wi-Fi / only transport
