This is a Presidential Young Investigator award in the area of                  communication theory.  Dr. Verdu's work involves the application of             probability and random processes to the analysis of the performance             limits of information transmission through noisy communication                  channels, including multiple-access channels.  A common strategy for            sharing a communication channel is to let each user modulate a distint          assigned waveform without requiring a multiple-access protocol to               coordinate transmission periods with the other transmitters.  From              both the practical and theroetical viewpoints, the main object of               interest is the asynchronous Gaussian multiple-access channel where             the users transmit simultaneously and independently without                     maintaining common timing.  The objectives of this research are the             analysis and design of multiuser demondulators and the derivation of            the main performance limits of the channel, assessed in terms of the            minimum bit-error-rate and the region of informaiton rates at which             reliable communication is possible.  Also under investigation is the            analysis of random-access protocols for channels that, unlike                   conventional collision channels, allow the reception of several                 simultaneous transmissions.
