Existence of Good δ-Decodable Codes for the Two-User Multiple-Access Adder Channel

This paper defines a class of δdecodable codes, for the two-user multiple-access adder channel with binary inputs. This class is a generalization of the class of two-user codes investigated by Kasami and Lin (1978). Lower hounds on the achievable rates of codes in this class are derived. We show that, for a wide range of error correcting capability. this class contains good two-user δdecodable codes with rates lying above the timesharing line.
