Use when drafting or revising a MobiCom paper for house style — putting the wireless/mobile mechanism and its operating regime on the first page, pairing every claim with over-the-air measurement, replacing superlatives with percentiles and intervals, and fitting the argument into the double-column 12-page body.

# MobiCom Writing Style

A MobiCom paper reads as a **mechanism justified by measurement**. The first page states a
wireless or mobile-networking problem, the mechanism that addresses it, and the measured
evidence — before any implementation detail. The double-column 12-page body is for the core
argument; derivations, protocols, and extra results go to references and appendices.

## The first-page arc

Put this in the abstract and first page, in order:

1. **The wireless/mobile pain** — the concrete condition that breaks existing designs
   (a fade under mobility, interference, a spectrum constraint, an energy limit).
2. **Why existing mechanisms fall short** — each prior approach gets a *specific, named*
