A Perspective on Multiaccess Channels

Abstract

The Information Theoretic Approach and the Collision Resolution Approach to Multiaccess Channels are reviewed in terms of the Underlying Communication Problems that both are modelling. The author gives some perspective on the strengths and weakness of these approaches and argues for the need of a more combined approach focused on coding and decoding techniques.
