G. Benelli et A. Garzelli, TYPE-II HYBRID ARQ PROTOCOL USING CONCATENATED CODES, IEE proceedings. Part I. Communications, speech and vision, 140(5), 1993, pp. 346-350
The high throughput achieved by type-II hybrid automatic repeat reques
t (ARQ) protocols can be enhanced by using the inner structure of a co
deword in a concatenated coding scheme. The paper presents a new type-
II hybrid scheme based on concatenated codes to which two retransmissi
on strategies have been applied. The results on throughput bounds show
that the proposed protocols are effective even in the case of communi
cation channels with high error rates.
