Abstract
This paper presents a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) system using turbo product codes (TPC). The inherent word-error detection capability of TPC is exploited to replace the conventional cyclic redundancy check (CRC) used for packet error detection in conventional HARQ systems. Therefore, TPC are used for joint bit error correction and packet error detection. Consequently, the HARQ system efficiency is improved by increasing the system throughput when short packets are transmitted or by reducing the computational complexity/delay when the packets transmitted are long. Monte Carlo simulation results reveal that the CRC-free TPC-HARQ system consistently provides equivalent or higher throughput than CRC-based HARQ systems. Moreover, numerical results show that TPC self-detection has lower computational complexity than CRC detection, particularly for TPCs with high code rates. In particular scenarios, the relative complexity of the self-detection approach with respect to popular CRC techniques is about 0.3%.
