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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexey Vinel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3642154271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783642154270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Alexey Vinel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47424596082943,"sku":"9783642154270","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_50930646-660e-4666-92c2-dc57b2f59ae0.jpg?v=1761531277","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/multiple-access-communications-alexey-vinel-9783642154270","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
