A time diversity automatic repeat-request (ARQ) scheme is investigated for a slotted narrowband DS/CDMA wireless data network over a Nakagami fading channel. Numerical results reveal that the proposed adaptive retransmission diversity with packet combining provides a considerable advantage over the conventional slotted DS/CDMA ALOHA at the expense of a slight increase in implementation complexity.
