In this paper, an antenna-switching scheme using negative acknowledgement for hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) is proposed and analyzed in the Vertical Bell Labs Layered Space-Time(V-BLAST) system, in which the transmit antenna is alternatively switched under retransmission. By analytically evaluating the channel capacity of the proposed scheme over correlated fading channels, it is shown that the adverse effect of the channel correlation is alleviated by the antenna switching scheme. Simulation results demonstrate that the average throughput may be improved in a correlated fading channel without adding much complexity to the process.

WiBro is a wireless mobile communication system which supports a high data rate and high mobility in anywhere and anytime. Although WiBro system provides multimedia service including data, audio and video services, customers require better service quality in WiBro system. But, many researches have theoretically evaluated the performance of WiBro system without systematic studies by simulation. Therefore, in this paper, we evaluate a performance of WiBro system using OPNET simulator. We analyze system performance according to various modulation and coding schemes, and propose Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) profile to support quality of services for user requirements. Also we evaluate the performance of WiBro system using AMC and Hybrid-Automatic Repeat Request (H-ARQ) technologies, and confirm that the proposed AMC profile can be applied to WiBro system with high performance.

When the bluetooth technology of smartphone is applied to a remote control system, communication errors caused by wave attenuation and interference results in the shortening of communication distance, loss of the target device control and malfunctioning. In this study, we propose a method to adopt a retransmission persistence controlled S/W ARQ in bluetooth communication to minimize the effect of the communication failure and to detect and handle the state where the target device gets lost control. We implemented a motor-driven RC car equpped with a bluetooth communication module and a steering application program on smartphone to test the proposed method. The experiments are conducted in three communication environments, and have resulted in the increase of the communication distance by at least 30% when S/W ARQ is applied. Moreover, when the communication was disrupted due to environmental disturbances, the S/W ARQ based system stopped immediately any undergoing operations to avoid possible malfunction.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of the ARQ-aided downlink Time Switched Transmit Diversity (TSTD) in the WCDMA LCR-TDD system, when power ramping is applied. The proposed power ramping scheme ramps up the transmission power and then retransmits the data, when the receiver sends the response signal (ACK or NACK signal) to the transmitter and the response signal is NACK signal. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme yields about 0.7dB performance gain in terms of average Eb/N0, compared with the conventional ARQ-aided TSTD when a mobile speed is 3km/h and an frame error rate (FER) is 1%, respectively. In addition, 2.5% of throughput gain is shown when average Eb/N0 is equal to 0dB.

CRU (contiguous resource unit) composed of adjacent OFDMA subcarriers is popularly adopted for recently developed cellular communication standards, e.g. IEEE 802.16e/m. If multiple CRUs having different SNR are assigned to a mobile station, and multiple packet streams are independently transmitted by using H-ARQ transmission, an achievable data rate can be varied according to the channel allocation method of re-transmission packets and new transmission packets. In this paper, the optimum channel allocation method for the above stated problem, and several sub-optimum channel allocation methods to reduce the computational complexity of the optimum allocation method are proposed. According to the simulation results, a sub-optimum allocation method assigning a CRU having good SNR to new transmission packet shows marginal performance loss compared with optimum method, however, the computational complexity can be significantly reduced.

In this paper, we introduce the low-density parity-check (LDPC) coded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) subframe reordering scheme for achieving equal combined power allocation in type I hybrid automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) systems and analyze the performance improvement by using the channel capacity. Also, it is confirmed that the layered decoding for subframe reordering scheme in H-ARQ systems gives faster convergence speed. It is verified from numerical analysis that a subframe reordering pattern having larger channel capacity shows better bit error rate (BER) performance. Therefore the subframe reordering pattern achieving equal combined power allocation for each subframe maximizes the channel capacity and outperforms other subframe reordering patterns. Also, it is shown that the subframe reordering scheme for achieving equal combined power allocation gives better performance than the conventional Chase combining scheme without increasing the decoding complexity.

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 this paper, we propose and analyze a scheme for wireless channels, which is a combination of a type I hybrid-automatic repeat request (H-ARQ) scheme and a power ramping. The power ramping is considered for more reliable downlink data transmission, in which the transmission power is gradually changed from a small level to a large level when the number of retransmissions increases. The simulation results demonstrate that, when the power ramping step size is 0.5dB, the average throughput gain may be as high as 2% to 5% with properly selected parameters.

In this paper, we propose a practical hybrid transport error control scheme to provide SVC video streaming service over error-prone IP networks. Many error control mechanisms for various video coding standards have been proposed in the literature. However, there is little research result which can be practically applicable to the multilayered coding structure of SVC(the scalable extension of H.264/AVC). We present a new hybrid transport error control scheme that efficiently combines layered Forward Error Correction(FEC) and Automatic Repeat Request(ARQ) for better packet-loss resilience. In the proposed hybrid error control, we adopt ACK-based ARQ instead of NACK-based ARQ to maximize throughput which is the amount of effective data packets delivered over a physical link per time unit. In order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid error control scheme, we adopt NIST-Net network emulator which is a general-purpose tool for emulating performance dynamics in IP networks. It is shown by simulations over the NIST-Net that the proposed hybrid error control scheme shows improved packet-loss resilience even with much less number of overhead packets compared to various conventional error control schemes.
