Dispersion of waves propagated at frequencies near the ion cyclotron frequency in collision-dominated plasmas subjected to axial magnetic fields is investigated. Radial and axial propagation constants, satisfying Maxwell's equations, and including the contributions of binary elastic ion-ion and ion- electron interparticle forces to an ion conductivity tensor, are calculated. Elements of the ion conductivity tensor are found analytically by expressing the ion distribution function in the Boltzmann equation as a series of orthogonal Laguerre polynomials in velocity space with time-dependent expansion coefficients.
