Analysis of a type II hybrid ARQ strategy in a DS-CDMA packet transmission environment

In this letter, a type II hybrid automatic repeat request scheme is considered as a retransmission strategy in a direct-sequence code-division multiple-access packet mobile radio network. An analysis based on the Equilibrium Point Analysis is presented to model the behavior of the system in a message-based traffic generation model. A simulation approach is introduced to validate the proposed analytical model obtaining results that closely match those derived theoretically.
