Two distinct crossings are independent if the end-vertices of the crossed
pair of edges are mutually different. If a graph G has a drawing in the plane
so that every two crossings are independent, then we call G a plane graph
with independent crossings or IC-planar graph for short. In this paper, it is
proved that the (p, 1)-total labelling number of every IC-planar graph G is
at most ?(G) + 2p ? 2 provided that ?(G) ? ? and 1(G) ? 1, where (?, 1) ?
{(6p + 2, 3), (4p + 2, 4), (2p + 5, 5)}. As a consequence, we generalize and
improve some results obtained in [F. Bazzaro, M. Montassier, A. Raspaud, (d,
1)-Total labelling of planar graphs with large girth and high maximum degree,
