Hybrid ARQ Schemes for Non-Orthogonal Space-Time Block Codes
نویسنده
چکیده
Automatic Repeat-reQuest (ARQ) schemes are extensively used in communication systems and computer networks to achieve reliable transmission. Using space-time codes (STCs) with multiple input multiple output (MIMO) or multiple input single output (MISO) systems is an effective way to combat multipath fading, which is the most severe impairment for wireless communication systems. STCs are designed to use the rich scattering multipath environment provided by using multiple transmit antennas. The work done in this thesis focuses on the use of ARQ schemes with non-orthogonal space-time block codes (NOSTBCs) based on Reed Solomon codes. The truncated-selective ARQ (TS-ARQ) scheme is considered and three novel hybrid ARQ (HARQ) schemes are proposed. Simulation results reveal that, compared to using TS-ARQ with orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs), using NOSTBCs with any of the three proposed HARQ schemes can provide significant gains in terms of dropped packet rate and spectral efficiency at the cost of increased decoding complexity. The performance can be further improved by using the water filling principle to adaptively allocate transmit power among transmit antennas.

Cooperative Orthogonal Space-Time-Frequency Block Codes over a MIMO-OFDM Frequency Selective Channel
In this paper, a cooperative algorithm to improve the orthogonal space-timefrequency block codes (OSTFBC) in frequency selective channels for 2*1, 2*2, 4*1, 4*2 MIMO-OFDM systems, is presented. The algorithm of three node, a source node, a relay node and a destination node is formed, and is implemented in two stages. During the first stage, the destination and the relay antennas receive the sym...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Hybrid ARQ Scheme Using Shortened Codes
In this paper we propose a sub-block retransmission scheme for ARQ and hybrid ARQ schemes. When the channel is quiet the sub-block retransmission scheme behaves like a conventional ARQ or hybrid ARQ scheme. As the channel is becoming noisy, the data block is divided into small sub-blocks for transmission. Each sub-block is encoded for error control by an appropriate shortened code and the code ...

In this paper the throughput performance of Simple Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) and Hybrid type-II ARQ schemes over Rayleigh fading channels are studied. Some new hybrid type-II schemes based on Rate Compatible Punctured Convolutional (RCPC) codes are proposed which can be regarded as a combination of simple ARQ and traditional hybrid type-II ARQ schemes. It is shown that the suggested scheme...

متن کاملPerformance of truncated type-II hybrid ARQ schemes with noisy feedback over block fading channels
This paper considers truncated type-II hybrid automatic repeat-request (ARQ) schemes with noisy feedback over block fading channels. With these ARQ techniques, the number of retransmissions is limited, and, similar to forward error correction (FEC), error-free delivery of data packets cannot be guaranteed. Bounds on the average number of transmissions, the average coding rate as well as the rel...
