Integration of channel coding and modulation in the ARQ protocols
G. Benelli · IEE Proceedings F Communications Radar and Signal Processing · 1988
The integration of the modulation operation in the structure of some automatic-repeat-request protocols is analysed. Continuous phase modulation schemes are considered together with block and convolutional codes. The optimum structure of channel coding and modulation is determined through a computer search. The results show that a net improvement in the throughput and error probability can be achieved by using this technique with respect to the classical protocols.
