Preface
Itisourgreatpleasuretopresenttheproceedingsofthe4thInternationalWork-
shop on Multiple Access Communications (MACOM) that was held in Trento
during September 12–13,2011.
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.
Duringtheensuing40yearsofintensivestudy,numerouseleganttheoriesand
algorithmshavebeendevelopedformultiple accesscommunications.During the
1980sand1990sthe evolutionofmultiple-accesstechniquesproceededalongside
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 efficiency and flexibility in radio
resourceallocationaswellasintrinsicanti-multipathandanti-interferenceprop-
erties.Inthisfirstdecadeofthetwenty-firstcentury,multiple-accesstechniques,
derivedfrom advanced wireless transmissionmethodologies and based on diver-
sityconcept,suchasMC-CDMA,MIMO-OFDMAandSC-FDMA,haveopened
the doors to a resurgence of multiple-access. Modern multiple-access commu-
nications involve a host of challenges, not limited to physical layer design as
in the past. Medium-access control (MAC) techniques play a crucial role in
managing the radio resources. Recent developments in software and cognitive
radioshaveledto notableadvancesinspectrummanagement.Oldparadigmsof
multiple-access management based on“locked”and“exclusive”reservation poli-
cies of spectrum resources are being challenged by cognitive radios that allow
activity sensing of the spectrum and to opportunistically occupy free parts of
the spectrum.
Technical contributions to all these topics were presented and discussed at
MACOM 2011 and are included in this volume. We received more than 40 sub-
missions for the conference. After a thorough review process, 21 high-quality
papers were accepted for presentation at the workshop. Submissions received
at least three reviews from the members of the Technical Program Committee
and/or external reviewers. Our gratitude goes to the members of the Techni-
cal ProgramCommittee and external reviewers for their efforts. MACOM 2011
included five distinguished invited keynote speakers: Reuven Cohen, Christian
Schlegel, Mike Devetsikiotis, Enrico Buracchini, and Andrea Buldorini.
Finally,wewouldliketotakethisopportunitytoexpressourgratitudetoour

MACOM 2011 a very successful event. A special thank you is given to Dajana
