Abstract :
The authors describe and analyze a model for the Gaussian multiple access channel, where the addition of new users is governed by a renewal process. An information-theoretic approach is used to find the set of transmission rates at which the reliable communication of the messages of each user is possible. The capacity for the Markovian multiple access channel is shown to be dependent on the utilization factor of the system
