Cooperative hybrid-ARQ (HARQ) protocols, which can exploit the spatial and temporal diversities, have been widely studied. The efficiency of cooperative HARQ protocols is higher than that of cooperative protocols, because retransmissions are only performed when necessary. We classify cooperative HARQ protocols as three decode-and-forward based HARQ (DF-HARQ) protocols and two amplified-and-forward based (AF-HARQ) protocols. To compare these protocols and obtain the optimum parameters, two unified frameworks are developed for protocol analysis. Using the frameworks, we can evaluate and compare the maximum throughput and outage probabilities according to the SNR, the relay location, and the delay constraint for the protocols.

The focus of this paper is an information-theoretic study of retransmission protocols for reliable packet communication under a secrecy constraint. The hybrid automatic retransmission request (HARQ) protocol is revisited for a block-fading wire-tap channel, in which two legitimate users communicate over a block-fading channel in the presence of a passive eavesdropper who intercepts the transmissions through an independent block-fading channel. In this model, the transmitter obtains a 1-bit ACK/NACK feedback from the legitimate receiver via an error-free public channel. Both reliability and confidentiality of secure HARQ protocols are studied by the joint consideration of channel coding, secrecy coding, and retransmission protocols. In particular, the error and secrecy performance of repetition time diversity (RTD) and incremental redundancy (INR) protocols are investigated based on good Wyner code sequences, which ensure that the confidential message is decoded successfully by the legitimate receiver and is kept in total ignorance by the eavesdropper for a given set of channel realizations. This paper first illustrates that there exists a good rate-compatible Wyner code family which ensures a secure INR protocol. Next, two types of outage probabilities, connection outage and secrecy outage probabilities are defined in order to characterize the tradeoff between the reliability of the legitimate communication link and the confidentiality with respect to the eavesdroppers link. For a given connection/secrecy outage probability pair, an achievable throughput of secure HARQ protocols is derived for block-fading channels. Finally, both asymptotic analysis and numerical computations demonstrate the benefits of HARQ protocols to throughput and secrecy.
This paper studies the performance of hybrid-ARQ (automatic repeat request) in Rayleigh block fading channels. The long-term average transmitted rate is analyzed in a fast-fading scenario where the transmitter only has knowledge of channel statistics, and, consistent with contemporary wireless systems, rate adaptation is performed such that a target outage probability (after a maximum number of H-ARQ rounds) is maintained. H-ARQ allows for early termination once decoding is possible, and thus is a coarse, and implicit, mechanism for rate adaptation to the instantaneous channel quality. Although the rate with H-ARQ is not as large as the ergodic capacity, which is achievable with rate adaptation to the instantaneous channel conditions, even a few rounds of H-ARQ make the gap to ergodic capacity reasonably small for operating points of interest. Furthermore, the rate with H-ARQ provides a significant advantage compared to systems that do not use H-ARQ and only adapt rate based on the channel statistics.
Cooperative transmission is an emerging communication technique that takes advantage of the broadcast nature of wireless channels. However, due to low spectral efficiency and the requirement of orthogonal channels, its potential for use in future wireless networks is limited. In this paper, by making use of multiuser detection (MUD) and network coding, cooperative transmission protocols with high spectral efficiency, diversity order, and coding gain are developed. Compared with the traditional cooperative transmission protocols with single-user detection, in which the diversity gain is only for one source user, the proposed MUD cooperative transmission protocols have the merit that the improvement of one users link can also benefit the other users. In addition, using MUD at the relay provides an environment in which network coding can be employed. The coding gain and high diversity order can be obtained by fully utilizing the link between the relay and the destination. From the analysis and simulation results, it is seen that the proposed protocols achieve higher diversity gain, better asymptotic efficiency, and lower bit error rate, compared to traditional MUD schemes and to existing cooperative transmission protocols. From the simulation results, the performance of the proposed scheme is near optimal as the performance gap is 0.12dB for average bit error rate (BER) 10^{-6} and 1.04dB for average BER 10^(-3), compared to two performance upper bounds.
A status updating communication system is examined, in which a transmitter communicates with a receiver over a noisy channel. The goal is to realize timely delivery of fresh data over time, which is assessed by an age-of-information (AoI) metric. Channel coding is used to combat the channel errors, and feedback is sent to acknowledge updates reception. In case decoding is unsuccessful, a hybrid ARQ protocol is employed, in which incremental redundancy (IR) bits are transmitted to enhance the decoding ability. This continues for some amount of time in case decoding remains unsuccessful, after which a new (fresh) status update is transmitted instead. In case decoding is successful, the transmitter has the option to idly wait for a certain amount of time before sending a new update. A general problem is formulated that optimizes the codeword and IR lengths for each update, and the waiting times, such that the long term average AoI is minimized. Stationary deterministic policies are investigated, in which the codeword and IR lengths are fixed for each update, and the waiting time is a deterministic function of the AoI. The optimal waiting policy is then derived, and is shown to have a threshold structure, in which the transmitter sends a new update only if the AoI grows above a certain threshold that is a function of the codeword and IR lengths. Choosing the codeword and IR lengths is discussed in the context of binary symmetric channels.
The problem of achieving ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) in multi-terminal networks has gained traction in the recent past owing to new wireless applications in vehicular networks. In the context of multi-hop networks, which is a classic example for multi-party communication, recent studies have shown that automatic-repeat-request (ARQ) based decode-and-forward (DF) strategies are suitable for URLLC since the idea of distributing a given number of ARQs across the nodes provides fine control on the features of reliability and latency. Inspired by these developments, in this work, we propose a cooperative ARQ sharing strategy for URLLC in multi-hop networks. At the heart of the proposed scheme lies the idea that every node is given the knowledge of the number of ARQs allotted to its preceding node in addition to the ARQs allotted to itself. As a result, each node only needs to count the number of unsuccessful attempts of its preceding node, and then borrow the unused ARQs, thereby improving the reliability feature with no compromise in the latency constraint. Using packet-drop-probability (PDP) as the reliability metric for the proposed cooperative strategy, we formulate an optimization problem of minimizing the PDP subject to a sum constraint on the total number of ARQs allotted across all the nodes. Supported by theoretical analysis on the behavior of PDP, we present low-complexity algorithms to compute near-optimal ARQ distributions for our strategy, and show that our strategy outperforms the existing non-cooperative strategies.
