Automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocol is attention for recent years as one protocol for reliable, accurate signal at the destination. However, in almost recently proposed ARQ protocols, the authors only consider advantage about the diversity gain. In this paper, we propose a novel cooperative ARQ protocol with advantage about the bandwidth in which the source sends a number of frames before stopping and worrying about the acknowledgment.

In this paper, a multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) hybrid-automatic repeat request (HARQ) algorithm with antenna scheduling is proposed. It retransmits the packet using scheduled transmit antennas according to the state of the communication link, instead of retransmitting the packet via the same antennas. As a result, a combination of conventional HARQ systems, viz. chase combining (CC) and incremental redundancy (IR) are used to achieve better performance and lower redundancy. The proposed MIMO-OFDM HARQ system with antenna scheduling is shown to be superior to conventional MIMO HARQ systems, due to its spatial diversity gain.

In this paper, an error-detection-coding-aided iterative hard decision interference cancellation (EDC-IHIC) scheme for multiple-input multiple-output systems employing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) for multi-packet transmission is developed and investigated. In the EDC-IHIC scheme, only packets identified as error-free by the EDC are submitted to the interference cancellation (IC) stage for cancellation from the received signals. Therefore, the possibility of error propagation, including inter-transmission error propagation, can be eliminated using EDC-IHIC. Because EDC must be implemented in systems that employ HARQ to determine packet retransmission, error propagation can be prevented without the need for additional redundancy. The results of simulations conducted herein verify that the EDC-IHIC scheme outperforms conventional hard decision IC schemes in terms of the packet error rate in various environments.

본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크(sensor networks)의 가장 대표적인 MAC 프로토콜인 S-MAC 의 에너지 효율을 높이기 위한 새로운 ACK(Acknowledgement) 기법을 제안한다. S-MAC 의 데이터 전송 절차는 Stop and Wait ARQ(Automatic Repeat Request) 방식을 사용하기 때문에 ACK 패킷으로 인한 불필요한 에너지 소비가 크다. 에너지 효율성은 센서 네트워크의 가장 중요한 고려사항이므로 불필요한 에너지 소비를 줄이는 새로운 ACK 기법을 제안한다. 우리는 시뮬레이션을 통해 S-MAC 과 제안된 ACK 기법의 에너지 효율을 비교했다. 시뮬레이션 결과에서 제안한 기법이 S-MAC 보다 에너지 효율성이 높았다.

The next generation mobile communication systems require error correcting schemes that can be adaptable to various code rates and lengths with negligible performance degradation. Serial concatenated convolutional codes can be a good candidate satisfying these requirements. In this paper, we propose new rate-compatible punctured serial concatenated convolutional code (RCPSCCC) which performs better than the RCPSCCC proposed by Chandran and Valenti in the sense of the rate compatibility. These codes are evaluated and analyzed by using computer simulation and SNR evolution technique. As their application, Type-II hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) schemes using both RCPSCCCs are constructed and new RCPSCCC is shown to have better throughput.

Energy consumption is a key issue in body sensor networks (BSNs) since energy-constrained sensors monitor the vital signs of human beings in healthcare applications. In this paper, packet size optimization for BSNs has been analyzed to improve the efficiency of energy consumption. Existing studies on packet size optimization in wireless sensor networks cannot be applied to BSNs because the different operational characteristics of nodes and the channel effects of in-body and on-body propagation cannot be captured. In this paper, automatic repeat request (ARQ), forward error correction (FEC) block codes, and FEC convolutional codes have been analyzed regarding their energy efficiency. The hop-length extension technique has been applied to improve this metric with FEC block codes. The theoretical analysis and the numerical evaluations reveal that exploiting FEC schemes improves the energy efficiency, increases the optimal payload packet size, and extends the hop length for all scenarios for in-body and on-body propagation.

IEEE 802.11a Distributed Coordination Function(DCF) Protocol을 사용하여 Real-Time MultiMedia Data의 전송을 수행할 경우, DCF Protocol의 적합하지 못한 Mechanism에 의하여, Data 전송의 극대화를 이루지 못한다. Retransmission이 반복되는 경우, Binary Slotted Exponential Backoff Mechanism은 거대한 Packet Delay와 Jitter의 원인이 되며 Automatic Repeat Request(ARQ) 방식의 Ack Mechanism은 MultiMedia Data를 전송하기에 적합하지 못하다. 본 논문은 위와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 Real-Time MultiMedia Data을 주로 전송하는 STA에 따른 Real-Time/Non-Real-Time(RT/NRT) Station(STA)의 구분과 보내고자 하는 Real-Time MultiMedia Data의 Network Traffic Load(The Required Bandwidth)를 고려하여, Modified DCF(mDCF) Protocol의 Modified Backoff(mBackOff), Modified BlockAck(mBlockAck) Mechanism을 제시함으로서, Data 전송의 극대화를 제공하며, 또한 IEEE 802.11a와의 호환성을 제공한다.

In this paper, we propose a novel protocol called a Multi-hop Diversity Transmission protocol in which the retransmission is realized by a relay that is Nearest to a current Source (MDTNS). We derive the mathematical expressions of the packet error rate (PER) and the average number of transmissions over Nakagami-m fading channels, and verify them by Monte Carlo simulations. The simulation results show that the MDTNS protocol improves the performance of the network in terms of PER when compared to the Multi-hop Diversity Transmission protocol in which the retransmission is done by a relay that is Nearest to Destination (MDTND) and to the conventional multi-hop transmission (CMT) protocol.

Cooperative hybrid-automatic repeat request (HARQ) protocols, which can exploit the spatial and temporal diversities, have been widely studied. The efficiency of cooperative HARQ protocols is higher than that of cooperative protocols because retransmissions are only performed when necessary. We classify cooperative HARQ protocols as three decode-and-forward-based HARQ (DF-HARQ) protocols and two amplified-and-forward-based HARQ (AF-HARQ) protocols. To compare these protocols and obtain the optimum parameters, two unified frameworks are developed for protocol analysis. Using the frameworks, we can evaluate and compare the maximum throughput and outage probabilities according to the SNR, the relay location, and the delay constraint. From the analysis we can see that the maximum achievable throughput of the DF-HARQ protocols can be much greater than that of the AF-HARQ protocols due to the incremental redundancy transmission at the relay.

In this paper, we present a retransmission power adjustment (RPA) scheme for DS/SSMA ALOHA packet radio systems with packet combining. In the proposed RPA scheme, retransmission power is adjusted in such a way that the erroneously-received packet can be recovered with a minimized interference to other user packets. We analyze the performance of the system with the RPA by employing the equilibrium point analysis (EPA), and confirm that the results obtained from the EPA are very close to the simulation results in low power cases. Simulation results demonstrate that the RPA scheme brings forth performance gain in the throughput and the average delay while saving a significant amount of transmission power. We also investigate the stability of the system from the EPA results, and conclude that the system becomes stable as the offered load increases or the level of retransmission power decreases.
