Review of Last Lecture:
Uplink and Downlink
Downlink (Broadcast
Channel or BC):
One Transmitter
to Many Receivers.
Uplink (Multiple Access
Channel or MAC):
Many Transmitters
to One Receiver.

Code properties of CDMA allow the signal separation and subtraction
RANDOM ACCESS TECHNIQUES
7C29822.038-Cimini-9/97
Random Access and Scheduling
Dedicated channels wasteful for data
Use statistical multiplexing
Random Access Techniques
Aloha (Pure and Slotted)
Carrier sensing
Typically include collision detection or avoidance
Poor performance in heavy loading
Reservation protocols
Resources reserved for short transmissions (overhead)
Hybrid Methods: Packet-Reservation Multiple Access
Retransmissions used for corrupted data
Often assumes corruption due to a collision, not channel
Multiuser Channel Capacity
Fundamental Limit on Data Rates
Main drivers of channel capacity
Bandwidth and received SINR
Channel model (fading, ISI)
Channel knowledge and how it is used
Number of antennas at TX and RX
Duality connects capacity regions of uplink and downlink

Main Points
Orthogonal techniques (TD, FD, CD with
orthogonal codes) channelize resources
No interference between users
Semiorthogonal techniques introduce interference
Interference can be removed via MUD
This is optimal from a capacity perspective
Random access techniques used for bursty data
Poor performance in heavy loading
Scheduling and hybrid techniques used in streaming data
Capacity dictates fundamental channel rate limits
Also provides insight into practical design
