Abstract

The Arimoto-Blahut (1972) algorithm is generalized for computation of the total capacity of discrete memoryless multiple-access channels (MAC). In addition, a class of MAC is defined with the property that the uniform distribution achieves the total capacity. These results are based on the specialization of the Kuhn-Tucker condition for the total capacity of the MAC, and an extension of a known symmetry property for single-user channels.
