3GPP RLC protocol specification adopted a window-controlled selective-repeat ARQ scheme for provisioning reliable data transmission. Inevitably, the re-ordering issue arises in the 3GPP's ARQ since it belongs to the selective-repeat ARQ clan. A long re-ordering time results in the degradation of throughput and delay performance, and may invoke the overflow of the re-ordering buffer. Also, the re-ordering time must be regulated to meet the requirements of some services which are both loss-sensitive and delay-sensitive. In the 3GPP's ARQ, we may deflate the occupancy of the re-ordering buffer by reducing the window size and/or length of the status report period. Such a decrease, however, deteriorates the throughput and delay performance and encroaches the resource of the reverse channel. Aiming at reducing the occupancy at the re-ordering buffer while suppressing the degradation of throughput and delay performance, we propose threshold-dependent occupancy control schemes, identified as post-threshold and pre-threshold schemes, as supplements to the 3GPP's ARQ. For judging the effectiveness of the proposed schemes, we investigate peak occupancy, maximum throughput and average delay in the practical environment involving fading channels. From the simulation results, we observe that the proposed schemes invoke the performance trade-off between occupancy and throughput in general. Also, we reveal that the post-threshold scheme is able to improve the throughput and delay performance of the ordinary 3GPP's ARQ without inflating the occupancy of the re-ordering buffer.

For provisioning reliable data transmission, the 3GPP RLC specification adopted a selective-repeat ARQ scheme assisted by a window-based admission control scheme. In the 3GPP ARQ, which is a member of the selective-repeat ARQ clan, inheres the reordering problem A long and irregular reordering time results in the degradation of throughput and delay performance, and may incur the overflow of the reordering buffer. Furthermore, the reordering time must be regulated to meet the requirements of some services which are loss-sensitive and delay-sensitive as well. Perceiving the reordering hazard, we propose an alternative, identified as snowball scheme, to the original admission control scheme of the 3GPP ARQ with aiming at deflating the occupancy of the reordering buffer. A unique feature of the snowball scheme is to reject a new DATA PDU if it is non-adjacent to any DATA PDU sojourning at the reordering buffer. Such an intentional rejection apparently reduces the occupancy of the reordering buffer while it may deteriorate the throughput and delay performance. Developing an analytical approximation method, we investigate the effect of snowball scheme on the saturated occupancy and throughput. Also, we, using a simulation method, evaluate the peak occupancy, normalized throughput and average delay in the practical environment. From the simulation results, we reveal that the snowball scheme is able to enhance occupancy performance as well as throughput performance compared with the original admission control scheme of the 3GPP ARQ.

3GPP's RLC protocol specification adopted an error control scheme based on selective repeat ARQ. In 3GPP ARQ, distinctive windows are provide at transmitting and receiving stations so that those stations are prohibited to send or receive data PDU's out of window. An increase in window size enhances delay performance. Such an increase, however, raises the occupancy at reordering buffer, which results in a long reordering time. Aiming at suppressing the occupancy at reordering buffer, we propose a occupancy control scheme in this paper. In this scheme, a threshold is created in the receiving station's window and a data PDU out of the threshold (but within the window) is treated according to go back N ARQ. By the employment of the occupancy control scheme, the occupancy at the reordering buffer is apparently reduced, while the delay performance may be degraded due to the properties of go back N ARQ. We, thus, investigate the peak occupancy and mean delay performance by a simulation method. From numerical examples, we observe a trade-off in both performance measures and conclude that the peak occupancy is effectively reduced by setting a proper threshold under a constraint on mean delay performance.

In this paper, we present hybrid ARQ techniques to improve the throughput performance in high speed packet transmission such as Internet or multimedia services in Hospital. In order to evaluate the performance of the three different types of hybrid ARQ schemes, systemized link level simulations based on WWW traffic model are considered. In this paper, we also consider the simulated performance for an average link throughput and a normalized packet delay to compare the hybrid ARQ with link adaptation scheme in GPRS.

In this paper, the target FER is derived to achieve the maximum throughput in H-ARQ scheme where the FEC and ARQ are properly combined and proved through the simulation. In numerical analysis, The average upper bound on the FER(Frame Error Rate) of turbo code is derived and the throughput is expressed in terms of this bound. Then, the throughput is differentiated with respect to the FER and the optimal target PER is achieved. As a result of analysisw, the throughput is maximized at the target FER of 6% whereas the target PER is set to 5% in the current 3GPP2 specification.

In the 3GPP ARQ, distinctive windows are provided at transmitting and receiving stations so that those stations are prohibited to send or receive data PDU's out of window. An increase in window size enhances delay performance. Such an increase, however, raises the occupancy at re-ordering buffer, which results in a long re-ordering time. Aiming at suppressing the occupancy at re-ordering buffer, we propose partial go back N scheme in this paper In the partial go back N scheme, the receiving station regards all data PDU's between the first (lowest sequence numbered) error-detected PDU and last (highest sequence numbered) error-detected PDU. By the employment of the partial go back N scheme, the occupancy at the re-ordering buffer is apparently reduced, while the delay and throughput performance may be degraded due to the remaining properties of go back N. We thus consider peak occupancy of re-ordering buffer, mean sojourn time at re-ordering buffer, mean delay time, and maximum throughput as measures to evaluate tile proposed scheme and investigate such performance by using a simulation method. From numerical examples, we observe a trade-off among performance measures and conclude that the partial go back N scheme is able to effectively reduce the occupancy of re-ordering buffer.

In the 3GPP LTE and IEEE 802.16m standardizations for IMT-Advanced, the efficient transmission of multicast and broadcast data is one of the important issues to improve system performance. Especially, to guarantee each user's QoS in the multicast group, H-ARQ or adaptive modulation are considered to be adoption, however, reduction of feedback overhead is one of the most important issues. In this paper, performance of the previously proposed OOK (On-Off Keying) based common ACK/NACK feedback channel is analyzed through theoretical analysis and simulation. Based on the results, system parameter optimization methods for common feedback channel are proposed. In addition, through computer simulation, it is shown that the common feedback method according to the proposed feedback parameter optimization can feedback ACK/NACK information for multicast H-ARQ transmission, more reliably than the conventional user dedicated feedback method in 3GPP LTE systems, and can reduce the feedback overhead as well.

In the high-speed packet service, next generation mobile communication system has emerged as a major feature. If the fire of these high-speed kit services and non-continuous transmission of data due to the symmetrical nature of daeyiteo traffic for D-CDMA system has been actively studied. Small amounts of data moving in the uplink, but the real-time video downlink transmission, such as downloading large files to move data and services to those with asymmetric traffic characteristics, a system that can efficiently handle the data requirements be. Of 3GPP TDD(Time Division Duplex) scheme based on CDMA and TDMA in a way by introducing the concept through the proper allocation of time slots that can handle asymmetric traffic efficiently, has an advantage. TD-CDMA system by considering the characteristics of the frame configuration of transmission methods, such as physical channel structure and channel coding has been investigated. In addition, the HARQ scheme TD-CDMA system performance is analyzed by comparing them.

In layered communication architecture, each layer is designed to service its own functions to higher layer while getting serviced by lower layer. Usually layered architectures are not optimized in a total view of whole services and functions. So cross layer design pursues performance enhancements by optimizing in various ways. In LTE, MAC layer uses HARQ mechanism and RLC layer uses ARQ mechanism for retransmission. According to the 3GPP 36.331 specification, two layers' cooperation may not happen in an optimized way. This paper suggests an adaptive MAC layer approach which RLC layer's function might be initiated in MAC layer in advance to utilize MAC layer's idling wasting time for RLC layer's next decision. This adaptive ARQ method in MAC layer speeds up the next retransmission and reduces the overall transmission time. Emulation shows the improved performance in total retransmission time and retransmission success ratio. In wireless shadow area, the retransmission occurs frequently. Our approach has strong points in this poor wireless condition.
