Random Multiple-Access Communication and Group Testing

Abstract
We study the application of group testing to the design of efficient algorithms for random multiple-access communication systems. Both direct transmission and reservation systems are considered for various types of channel feedback. We propose and analyze algorithms based on conventional and generalized group testing techniques. The proposed algorithms outperform TDMA and algorithms based on binary tree search and possess certain optimality properties.
