Throughput analysis of nonbinary type-II hybrid ARQ
Lijun Zhang, Victor O. K. Li, Zhigang Cao · 2004
Nonbinary type-II hybrid ARQ (HARQ), which combines shortened Reed-Solomon (RS) code with ARQ, is proposed. Its throughput is obtained by extending Lin and Yu's analysis of binary type-Il HARQ. Analytical results show that nonbinary HARQ outperforms its binary counterpart in throughput over Rayleigh fading channels when the modulation scheme and the FEC subsystem are selected properly.
