Electronic device and method for interleave division multiple access communication

A method for Interleave Division Multiple Access (IDMA) control, the method performed by an IDMA control terminal having a processing circuit and comprising:

• acquiring information from plural remote transmitting devices, the information from each of the plural remote transmitting devices being about IDMA communication between a respective one of the plural remote transmitting devices and a remote receiving device;
• determining configuration parameters for the remote receiving device and each of the plural remote transmitting devices based on the information, the configuration parameters comprising IDMA operation parameters so as to distinguish transmissions of each of the plural remote transmitting devices,
• wherein the IDMA operation parameters comprise identification information that indicates whether a type of interleaver configured for each of the plural remote transmitting devices is a quadrature interleaver or a random interleaver;
• and
• providing the determined configuration parameters to the remote receiving device and to each of remote transmitting devices,
• wherein the plural remote transmitting devices are physically separate devices,
• wherein the remote receiving device is a device that is physically separate from each of the plural remote transmitting devices, and
• wherein the electronic device is physically separate from each of the plural remote transmitting devices and the remote receiving device.
