Abstract
A packet radio system is provided with a multiple access scheme which operates to schedule transmissions of data bearing radio packets on a common communications channel from a plurality of users to a common receiver of the said system. The radio packets via which the plurality of users communicate include synchronization data, and by providing the common receiver with a multi-user detector, contemporaneously transmitted packets may be detected and recovered in dependence upon the synchronization data, thereby substantially increasing a throughput of the packet radio system.
