In 1961, Claude Shannon established the foundation for the discipline now known as \"multi-user information theory\" in his pioneering paper \"Two-way Communication Channels,\" and later Norman Abramson published his paper \"The Aloha System--Another Alternative for Computer Communications\" in 1970 which introduced the concept of multiple access using a shared common channel. Thereafter, for more than 40 years of study, numerous elegant theories and algorithms have been developed for multiple-access communications. During the 1980s and 1990s the evolution of multiple-access techniques p- ceeded in conjunction with the evolution of wireless networks. Novel multiple access techniques like code division multiple access (CDMA) and orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) provided increased spectral - ?ciency, dynamicity and ?exibility in radio resource allocation with intrinsic anti-multipath and anti-interference features. In this ?rst decade of the 21st century, multiple-accesstechniques, derivedfromadvancedwirelesstransmission methodologiesbasedonthediversityconcept(e. g., MC-CDMA, MIMO-OFDMA and SC-FDMA), opened the road to a renewed idea of multiple access. Today multiple-access communications involve many challenging aspects not only l- ited (like in the past) to physical layer design. Medium access control (MAC) techniques play a crucial role in managing the radio resources that users will exploit to transmit their data streams. Recent developments in software radios and cognitive radios have led to a signi?cant impact also on spectrum m- agement andaccess paradigms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881703493783,"sku":"9783642154270","price":5712.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642154270.webp?v=1770232161","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/multiple-access-communications-third-international-workshop-macom-2010-barcelona-spain-september-13-14-2010-proceedings-9783642154270","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
