In this letter, a type-II hybrid broadcast automatic-repeat-request (A
RQ) scheme with adaptive forward error correction (AFEC) using BCH cod
es is proposed and analyzed, The basic idea in the proposed scheme is
to increase the error-correcting capability of BCH codes according to
each channel state using incremental redundancy, The numerical results
for the analysis and the simulation show that the proposed scheme mai
ntains high throughput even if channels become noisy and the number of
receivers is large.
