Title
Optimal Rate Adaptation for Hybrid ARQ in Time-Correlated Rayleigh Fading Channels
Abstract
Most analytical studies on hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) have been carried out in either slow fading or fast fading assumptions. However, since practical wireless channels typically exhibit a time-correlated property, we need to take into account the effects of time correlation in the design of HARQ. In this paper, we analyze the outage probability and delay-limited throughput of HARQ with rate adaptation in a time-correlated channel model. Then, we propose a rate adaptation scheme to maximize the delay-limited throughput and evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme under a delay constraint. Our analytical and numerical results show that the proposed rate adaptation scheme outperforms the conventional rate adaptation schemes. The proposed rate adaptation scheme is further simplified by using a Gaussian approximation on the effective channel power gain. The rate adaptation based on the proposed Gaussian approximation reduces the complexity and achieves a throughput gain comparable to that with the exact channel distributions.
