Abstract
AbstractThe hybrid automatic repeats request (ARQ) scheme, together with code combining, is an effective way to provide reliable transmission of data packets over noisy channel. In this paper, it is shown that the application of rate‐compatible punctured convolutional (RCPC) codes in truncated type III hybrid ARQ scheme leads to the so‐called composite code combining. In order to illuminate the effect of the involved composite code combining, a new concept, i.e. combined puncturing pattern, is introduced. By state‐diagram analysis, it is revealed that the overall performance of the truncated type III hybrid ARQ with code combining is dependent on both the maximum transmission number and the residual error probability after code combining. By extending the analysis to the convolutional codes whose symbols exhibit different effective signal‐to‐noise ratio owing to the composite code combining, a closed form of the residual error probability of the combined RCPC codes is derived. Based on the combined puncturing patterns, upper and lower bounds on the error performance are derived, together with an approximation method which is shown to be quite satisfactory by numerical and simulation results.
