[求助] AWPL退稿并修改重投，跪拜求助大神们指点！！！已有1人参与

向IEEE的AWPL投了一篇文章，通过仿真得到数据，然后对数据进行分析来得到一些结论。只能仿真是因为实地测量基本不能实现，主要原因在于没有条件进入实际环境进行测量。最后意见是Reject & Resubmit 。两个审稿人给出意见，第一个审稿人给出了许多较为细节的意见，其中最主要的意见就是其指出缺少实地测量来验证仿真结果的可靠性，这应该是所有意见中最难进行修改的。第二个审稿人给出了全盘肯定的评价，直接建议接收并且给予发表。想求助大家两个问题：一是按这种审稿结果以及其意见修改后录用概率有多大。二是，我该如何回答第一个审稿人关于缺少实地测量这一意见，因为真的很难进行实地测量。decision letter全文如下：

Dear Mr. XXX:

Manuscript ID AWPL-09-15-1648 entitled "Investigation of MIMO Channel Correlation and Capacity in Curved Subway Tunnel" which you submitted to the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, has been reviewed. The comments from reviewer(s) are included at the bottom of this letter.

In view of the criticisms of the reviewer(s), and considering the fact that the Letters do not permit "Major Revisions," I must decline the manuscript for publication in the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters at this time. However, a new manuscript may be submitted which takes into consideration these comments.

Please note that resubmitting your manuscript does not guarantee eventual acceptance, and that your resubmission may be subject to re-review by the reviewer(s) before a decision is rendered.

You will be unable to make your revisions on the originally submitted version of your manuscript. Instead, revise your manuscript using a word processing program and save it on your computer.

Once you have revised your manuscript, go to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/awpl and login to your Author Center. Click on "Manuscripts with Decisions," and then click on "Create a Resubmission" located next to the manuscript number. Then, follow the steps for resubmitting your manuscript.

Because we are trying to facilitate timely publication of manuscripts submitted to the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, your revised manuscript should be uploaded as soon as possible, but within THREE MONTHS of receiving this letter in order for us to consider your manuscript a resubmission. If it is not possible for you to submit your revision within this time-frame, we will consider your paper as a new submission, unless you have discussed your particular situation with me and this warrants an extension.

I look forward to receiving your resubmission.

Sincerely,

Professor Yang Hao, FIEEE, FIET

Comments to the Author:
This letter conducted the research on the correlation and capacity of MIMO channel in the curved subway channel.
The analysis should be based on the measurement data to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of analysis.
There lacks clear explanation about two sub-cases propagation process in curved tunnels.

Comments to the Author
The paper presents empirical influence of curved subway tunnel on multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channel considering typical scenarios for different receiver positions and curvature. The correlation between the array elements, singular values of the channel matrix and channel capacity in the straight tunnel and curved tunnel are calculated and compared.

Although the simulation results may be useful for the next generation communication-based train control systems, the authors need to significantly improve their experiment, analysis and discussion before publication with following reasons:.
1. The simulator should be validated by some measurement results in the curved subway tunnel. Otherwise, the reliability of simulation results is questionable.（如何回答这条）
2. Related to the simulation setup, a 4 × 4 MIMO system may not be practical in subway tunnels. Is this the typical setting in CBTC standardization? I suggest doing more simulation with different antenna configurations. What is the carrier frequency and bandwidth? Such basic parameters are missing in the paper. How to determine the spacing of antenna elements and sample interval of receiver path? The receiver is moving or it is the static simulation for each position?
3. Authors should address more importance of the propagation research in curved tunnel scenarios.
4. Why the propagation process in curved tunnels is divided into two sub-cases? Any explanation for the division? The difference between the propagation characteristics in these two sub-cases should be highlighted.
5. In the conclusion section, the authors discussed the optimal direction of antenna array and power allocation optimization solution to the problem of channel matrix degeneration. However, the simulation results cannot give solid evidence to support their suggestions. The topic mentioned is not related to this paper.

Additional comments:
1. The language should be improved.
2. There are several typos in the manuscript.
3. The authors said “Transmitters labeled as TSI, TSII and TSR are fixed in the center of cross-section of S1 and 100m apart from the entry at symbol ‘X’.” But according to the figure, it should be 10 m apart from the entry at symbol X.
4. I don’t think the receive power in RCI and RCII are much higher than the ones in RSR1 according to the results in Fig. 3(b).
5. Indicate the references in correct order along the entire manuscript.

Comments to the Author
The letter focuses on the analysis for the the influence of curved subway tunnel on MIMO channel by the support of ray-tracing tool.The authors present extensive simulations considering typical scenarios for different receiver positions and curvature.Simulation results demonstrate the channel characteristics by comparing with the straight tunnel in terms of a statistical analysis of correlation between the array elements in receiver and singular values of the channel matrix.
The proposed analysis method based on two curved subway tunnel models seems to be novel, and it is of significant interest to the scientific and engineering community. These corresponding results can provide useful guidance to optimize the MIMO system in
actual curved subway tunnels. The model setup and comparison are comprehensively explained. Moreover, this paper addresses one topic and carries the theme through a logical series of steps. The quality of this paper is good in terms of presentation and writing. The authors address the problems of correlation and capacity in curved subway tunnel in a very straightforward way.
For these reasons, I am convinced that this letter should be accepted for publication.
