Balanced capacity of wireline multiaccess channels

This paper analyzes the multiuser capacity of Gaussian wireline multiaccess channels. These channels are frequency selective because of the multiple reflections and the losses in the cables. The uplink (multiple access channel) and downlink (broadcast channel) capacity regions are known to be identical for a total power constraint. The concept of balanced capacity is introduced, and algorithms for the computation of the balanced multiuser capacity are proposed for an arbitrary number of users.
