Dynamic allocation of resources to the \emph{best} link in large multiuser networks offers considerable improvement in spectral efficiency. This gain, often referred to as \emph{multiuser diversity gain}, can be cast as double-logarithmic…
A mechanism called switched feedback is introduced; under switched feedback, each channel output goes forward to the receiver(s) or back to the transmitter(s) but never both. By studying the capacity of the Multiple-Access Channel (MAC)…
