Hybrid ARQ scheme using interleaved Reed-Solomon codes in a power-controlled DS-CDMA cellular system

摘要

A new hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ) scheme is proposed for data transmission in a power-controlled direct sequence (DS) code division multiple access (CDMA) system cellular system. The data frame is composed of interleaved Reed-Solomon codes. The depth of interleaving is determined by a power-control interval. After decoding each codeword with algebraic decoding, the post-decoding processor decides whether to accept the codeword or to discard it by using channel state information from the power-control processor. The proposed hybrid ARQ scheme significantly reduces the probability of undetected error among accepted codewords without significantly reducing the throughput.
