Abstract

In this paper, a channel aware HARQ (CA-HARQ) scheme based on data punctured rate compatible LDPC (DP-LDPC) codes, which might satisfy the demand for bandwidth and rate in land mobile communication system, is proposed. The scheme is based on type II HARQ technique cooperated with a DP- LDPC code. In the proposed scheme, the effective rate of the LDPC code is adapted according to the channel quality information (CQI) estimated at the receiver, so as to decrease the redundancy when the channel is good and vice versa, the retransmitted blocks are combined with the previous information transmitted to achieve high probability of successful decoding. In this paper, we use a 2-bit CQI feedback scheme. Simulation results, which based on a land mobile satellite channel, show that the proposed channel aware H-ARQ scheme based on DP-LDPC codes improved the throughput by 0.4dB at low SNR compared to a pure DP-LDPC type II HARQ, and it can also be an effective solution to compensate rain attenuation and multipath fading in land mobile satellite systems.
