Optimum coding design for type-I hybrid ARQ error control schemes
Qiang Yang, V.K. Bhargava · Electronics Letters · 1989
Crossover points in performance exist between plain ARQ, type-I and type-II hybrid ARQ as far as efficiency is concerned. To evaluate hybrid ARQ schemes, a new criterion called ‘overall throughput’ is proposed to measure performance capability. By numerical optimisation, the optimum system parameters are found for type-I hybrid ARQ with BCH error-correcting codes.
