Emerging commercial mobile wireless technology and standards, 1998: p. 68 (In a multiple-access system, users transmit information (e.g., voice or data) to one another using a shared communications medium ... A multiple-access protocol is an algorithm that coordinates user transmissions, including transmission of new packets and resolutions of collisions (for protocols that permit collisions))

Multiaccess protocols are techniques to allocate the communication resource efficiently to many contending users by controlling their access to the common communication channel)
