Abstract :
It is shown that the encoding/decoding problem for any asynchronous M-user discrete memoryless multiple-access channel can be reduced to corresponding problems for at most 2M-1 single-user discrete memoryless channels. This result, which extends a similar result for Gaussian channels, reduces the seemingly hard task of finding good multiple-access codes to the much better understood task of finding good codes for single-user channels. As a by-product, some interesting properties of the capacity region of M-user asynchronous discrete memoryless channels are derived
