Channel Constrained Multiple Selective Retransmissions for OFDM System: BER and Throughput Analysis

Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) retransmission is an effective method to combat time-variant channel fading. Conventional HARQ methods initiate retransmission of failed packet without exploiting channel knowledge. When a packet fails, retransmission of data corresponding to high gain sub-carriers of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation is not necessary and deteriorates the throughput of the communication system. In this paper, we propose accumulated channel norm constrained selective retransmission (CNSR) at physical layer (PHY) in conjunction with HARQ method, which enhances throughput of the transceiver without compromising latency. When a packet fails, medium access control (MAC) layer requests retransmission of the failed packet. The proposed CNSR method initiates retransmission of data at PHY layer transmitted over low signal-to-noise ratio sub-carriers using outdated channel information. The transceiver pair continues retransmission of the failed packet until target channel norm of the sub-carriers is achieved or maximum number of retransmissions are completed. We maximize throughput by optimizing threshold on channel norm for OFDM modulation. We also present an upper bound on bit error rate and throughput analysis of the proposed method. The proposed method achieves higher throughput as compared with the existing Chase combining with selective repeat and conventional Chase combining schemes with and without forward error correction codes.
