Truncated multi-hop ARQ type-i: Outage probability and throughput analysis
Ali Asghar Haghighi, Leszek Szczeciński, Fabrice Labeau · 2014
End-to-end outage probability and end-to-end throughput are analyzed in a multi-hop channel with truncated automatic repeat request type-I (ARQ-I). The system is modelled as a Markov chain and the closed-form expressions for the outage and throughput are derived for the cases of variable and equal distances between the nodes. The limits on the performance in high SNR and large number of transmissions are derived. We show that the diversity order is linearly increasing with the number of allowed transmission for each packet.
