Title
Toward URLLC with Proactive HARQ Adaptation
Abstract
In this work, we propose a dynamic decision maker algorithm to improve the proactive HARQ protocol for beyond 5G networks. Based on Lyapunov stochastic optimization, our adaptation control framework dynamically selects the number of proactive retransmissions for intermittent URLLC traffic scenarios under time-varying channel conditions without requiring any prior knowledge associated with this stochastic process. It then better exploits the trade-off between Radio Access Network (RAN) latency, reliability and resource efficiency, which is still limited in its realization on current HARQ designs. We then evaluate the performance of several HARQ strategies and show that our proposal further improves latency over the reactive regime without affecting the resource efficiency such as fixed proactive retransmission while maintaining target reliability.
