This analytical framework is used to evaluate the performance of the Reed-Solomon/hybrid-ARQ protocol (RS/HARQ) over fading channels with feedback to provide excellent reliability performance at the expense of a reduction in throughput.
Abstract
The use of nonbinary block error control codes over Rayleigh fading channels with feedback is examined. It is assumed that the fading is slow with respect to the rate of symbol transmission. Expressions are derived for the probabilities of channel symbol error and erasure, which are in turn used to develop expressions for code symbol error and erasure. Two erasure generation mechanisms are considered, one based on the existence of channel amplitude side information, the other not. This analytical framework is used to evaluate the performance of the Reed-Solomon/hybrid-ARQ protocol (RS/HARQ) over fading channels with feedback. The RS/HARQ system uses erasure decoding in a hybrid-ARQ protocol to provide excellent reliability performance at the expense of a reduction in throughput. The RS/HARQ protocol allows for the variation of the erasure threshold and the effective diameter of the decoding operation. >

On verifying the first-order Markovian assumption for a Rayleigh fading channel model

TL;DR: Finite-state Markov channel provides a mathematically tractable model for time-varying channels and uses only the received SNR of the symbol immediately preceding the current one and shows that the amount of uncertainty remaining in the current symbol should be negligible.

TL;DR: The authors apply a general method of bounding the event error probability of TCM (trellis-coded modulation) schemes to fading channels and use the effective length and the minimum-squared-product distance to replace theminimum-free-squaring-Euclidean distance as code design parameters for Rayleigh and Rician fading channels with a substantial multipath component.
