SHLOMI ARNON [SM] (shlomi@ee.bgu.ac.il) is presently a faculty member in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Ben Gurion University (BGU), Israel, and founder of the Satellite and Wireless Communication Laboratory which works intensively in the areas of laser satellite communication and terrestrial optical wireless communication system. He is the Israeli IEEE LEOS chapter chair. He was a postdoctoral associate (Fulbright Fellow) at LIDS, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He received his Ph.D. from BGU. He was invited and sponsored by the U.S. Air Force to consult with scientists at Rome and Albuquerque Laboratories. He consults regularly to startup and well established companies in the area of optical wireless communication and satellite communication. He co-instructed a tutorial on laser satellite communication at IEEE ICC 2000 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

N2 - A comparative study of the performance characteristics of five multiple access configurations for a wireless communication network is presented and evaluated within the context of the medical field of application. A universal variable has been defined for comparison between the alternative configurations, embodying the data rate, number of channels, power consumption, and bandwidth requirements. Special medical specifications have been accommodated, while the broader applications of this approach have been addressed. CDMA is indicated as the preferred method, over ALOHA, slotted ALOHA, CSMA, and polling.
