Network-assisted diversity multiple access in dispersive channels

Network-assisted diversity multiple access (NDMA) is a novel random medium access method, which provides impressive throughput efficiency for multiplexing variable-bit-rate data sources. We study the implementation of the NDMA scheme in the presence of multipath channels. A transceiver architecture and random access strategies are proposed, which are able to detect and resolve collisions in the presence of unknown propagation channels. The performance issues are studied both analytically and numerically.
