An adaptive hybrid- ARQ scheme combating burst-errors caused by power control lag in Ka-band LEO satellite systems
نویسنده
چکیده
When power control is employed in a Ka-band LEO satellite system featured with a Markov channel, the long loop lag induces power control gaps during channel state transition, which results in long (large-scale) bursterrors. To combat it, a novel hybrid ARQ scheme is proposed in this paper, in which the side information of the turbo decoder is utilized to derive the average reliability LLRl of the desired frame based on the iterative SOVA decoding algorithm. When LLRl is below the specified threshold, a Go-Back-N ARQ protocol is launched. With this scheme, the large-scale burst errors are effectively detected and corrected by the retransmission; the small-scale burst errors are filtered out for the interleaving and FEC coding to correct. The simulation results show that this scheme can achieve good BER performance with small cost in throughput and delay for Ka-band Markov satellite channels.

Adaptive power and rate control for efficient use of satellite channels in the Ka band are considered. Fading due to rain is modeled as a log-normally distributed, auto-regressive process with known statistics. Adaptation policies based on MMSE channel estimation are designed taking into account the effect of channel estimation errors in an optimal manner so as to satisfy the required outage pr...

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 ...
