Since the 1970s random multiple access techniques have made big progress and found a wide application in modern communication systems. In this paper we review the evolution of ALOHA random multiple access techniques: from pure ALOHA to Spread ALOHA. We introduce the principle of Spread ALOHA, investigate the relationship between spread-spectrum CDMA and Spread ALOHA, and discuss the prospective applications of Spread ALOHA.
