브로드밴드 무선 접속 (Broadband Wireless Access) 네트워크에서 신뢰성 있는 멀티캐스트 서비스는 자동 재전송 요구 (automatic repeat request, ARQ) 방식에 기반한 패킷 수신 정보 알림을 필요로 한다. 따라서, medium access control (MAC) 계층에서 신뢰성 있는 멀티캐스트 서비스를 지원하기 위해서, 본 논문에서는 스프레딩 코드(Cumulative ACK 코드와 ARQ Feedback Request 코드) 기반 멀티캐스트 피드백 기법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 무선채널 환경에 대한 패킷 에러율 (packet error rate, PER) 분석을 기반으로, 다양한 무선채널 환경 변화에 대하여 유니캐스트 ARQ 피드백 메시지를 사용하는 기존 방안 대비 제안 방안이 요구되는 상향링크 자원의 양에서 매우 우수한 특성을 가짐을 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper, a new turbo codes-based hybrid automatic repeat request (TC-HARQ) scheme with segment selective repeat (SSR) is proposed. The main strategy is, upon retransmission, to repeat the data that are most important for the next round of decoding based on the distribution of residual errors after current decoding. The performance in terms of reliability and throughput is analyzed. To adapt to correlated fading channels where an inter-leaver is always employed before transmission, we further modify the SSR strategy so that data having experienced correlated deep fading are selected for retransmission. Finally, this proposed scheme is applied to the wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) system under frequency selective fading channels. Simulation results demonstrate that in all single and multiple user cases, SSR-based TC-HARQ leads to significant throughput improvement with similar bit error rate (BER) performance as compared to type-I TC-HARQ.

본 논문에서는 버스트 홈 네트워크 채널에서 패킷 데이터 전송을 위한 SR-ARQ (Selective Repeat-Automatic Repeat Request) 기법의 처리율 성능을 분석한다. 홈 네트워크 전송에서는 데이터 전송에 의한 에러를 극복하기 위하여 강력한 에러 제어 기술이 필요하다. 기본적으로 ARQ와 FEC기법이 주로 사용되며 ARQ 기법은 신뢰성 있는 데이터 전송에서 주로 사용된다. 버스트 채널에서 SR-ARQ를 사용한 패킷 데이터 전송의 성능을 분석하고 처리율 분석을 위한 간단한 방식을 제시한다. 분석을 통하여 적은 크기의 패킷 데이터 전송은 버스트 홈 네트워크 채널에서 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

This work investigates the progressive linear precoder design for packet retransmissions in multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems with multiple codewords and automatic repeat request (ARQ) bundling feedback. Assuming perfect channel state information, a novel progressive linear ARQ precoder is proposed in the perspective of minimizing the packet error rate. We devise the ARQ precoder by combining power loading and sub channel pairing between current retransmission and previous transmissions. Furthermore, we extend the design to the case that the channel estimation error exists. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme can improve the performance of MIMO ARQ systems significantly regardless of the channel estimation error.

MC-CDMA, a multicarrier (MC) modulation scheme based on code division multiple access (CDMA), is the most likely candidate for the next generation of mobile radio communications. The rate compatible punctured turbo (RCPT) coded hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) has been found to give improved throughput performance in a direct sequence (DS) CDMA system. However, the extent to which the RCPT HARQ improves the throughput performance of an MC-CDMA system has not been fully understood. In this paper, we apply the RCPT HARQ to MC-CDMA and evaluate by computer simulations its performance in a frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. We found that the performance of RCPT HARQ MC-CDMA is almost insensitive to channel characteristics. The performance can be drastically improved with receive diversity combined with space-time transmit diversity. In addition, the comparison of RCPT HARQ MC-CDMA, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, and DS-CDMA shows that under similar conditions the throughput of MC-CDMA is the best in a frequency selective fading channel.

In the underwater communications, the acoustic channel is in poor communication conditions, such as long propagation delay, narrow bandwidth, and high bit-error rate. For these bad acoustic channels, we propose an efficient automatic repeat request (ARQ) for multi-hop underwater network by using the concepts of concurrent bi-directional transmission, multiple sub-packets, and overhearing data packet instead of the acknowledgement signal. Our results show that the proposed ARQ significantly reduces the transmission latency especially in high BER compared with the existing Stop and Wait ARQ.

This paper analyzes the performance of voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) services in terms of the system throughput, the packet delay, and the signaling overhead in a mobile WiMAX system with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) mechanism. Furthermore, a queueing analytical model is developed with due consideration of adaptive modulation and coding, the signaling overhead, and the retransmissions of erroneous packets. The arrival process is modeled as the sum of the arrival rate at the initial transmission queue and the retransmission queue, respectively. The service rate is calculated by taking the HARQ retransmissions into consideration. This paper also evaluates the performance of VoIP services in a mobile WiMAX system with and without persistent allocation; persistent allocation is a technique used to reduce the signaling overhead for connections with a periodic traffic pattern and a relatively fixed payload. As shown in the simulation results, the HARQ mechanism increases the system throughput as well as the signaling overhead and the packet delay.

The cyclic redundancy check(CRC) code used to decide retransmission request in hybrid automatic repeat request(HRAQ) system can also be used to stop iterative decoding of turbo code if it is used as an error correcting code(ECC) of HARQ system. Thus a scheme to use CRC code for both iteration stop and repeat request in the HARQ system with turbo code based on the standard of cdma 2000 system is proposed in this paper. At first, the optimum CRC code which has the minimum length without performance degradation due to undetected errors is found. And the most appropriate turbo encoder structure is also suggested. As results, it is shown that at least 32-bit CRC code should be used and a turbo code with 3 constituent encoders is considered to be the most appropriate one.

일반적으로 무선 환경은 유선환경에 비하여 높은 오류율을 가지기 때문에, 낮은 오류율을 가지는 유선망의 DLC(Data Link Control)계층 프로토콜을 무선망에 그대로 적용하는 것은 적합하지 않다. 또한 기존의 무선망을 위한 DLC계층 프로토콜 역시 저속의 데이터 서비스에 최적화 되어 있으므로, 고속화 및 멀티미디어화 되고 있는 현재의 무선 환경에는 적합하지 않다. 따라서, 오늘날의 이동통신 환경에 부합되는 새로운 DLC계층 프로토콜이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 트래픽 속성을 지원하고, 고속 및 멀티미디어 데이터 서비스에 적합한 WATM(Wireless Asynchronous Transfer Mode)에서의 오류 제어 방안을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 오류 제어 방안은 최대 허용 지연 범위를 초과한 셀을 폐기할 수 있는 ASR ARQ(Adaptive Selective Repeat Automatic Repeat Request)프로토콜의 일부를 변형하여 성능을 개선하고 지연에 민감한 트래픽을 위하여 FEC(Forward Error Correction)를 첨가하여 전송 지연 증가를 억제하였다. 시뮬레이션에 의한 성능 분석 결과, 본 논문에서 제안한 방안은 기존의 ASR ARQ 프로토콜에 비하여 개선된 성능을 나타내었다.

A multi-stage turbo equalization scheme based on the bit-level combining (BLC) is proposed for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). In the proposed multi-stage turbo equalization scheme, the minimum mean-square-error equalizer at each iteration calculates the extrinsic log-likelihood ratios for the transmitted bits in a subpacket and the subpackets are sequentially replaced at each iteration according to the HARQ rounds of received subpackets. Therefore, a number of iterations are executed for different subpackets received at several HARQ rounds, and the transmitted bits received at the previous HARQ rounds as well as the current HARQ round can be estimated from the combined information up to the current HARQ round. In addition, the proposed multi-stage turbo equalization scheme has the same computational complexity as the conventional bit-level combining based turbo equalization scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed multi-stage turbo equalization scheme outperforms the conventional BLC based turbo equalization scheme for MIMO systems with HARQ.
