UWB (Ultra Wide Band) systems employing SC-FDE techniques in the presence of strong interference signals that occupy a significant part of the transmission band are considered and a suitable soft combining ARQ schemes are proposed.
Abstract
SC-FDE (Single-Carrier with Frequency-Domain Equalization) together with soft packet combining ARQ techniques (Automatic Repeat reQuest) was shown to be effective for broadband wireless systems with deep fading effects such as those inherent to shadowing. However, they are not suitable to cope with strong interference effects, especially when the channel remains fixed. In this paper, we consider UWB (Ultra Wide Band) systems employing SC-FDE techniques in the presence of strong interference signals that occupy a significant part of the transmission band and we propose suitable soft combining ARQ schemes. Our techniques are able to cope with strong interference levels as well as deep fading, even for fixed channels.

Analytical Evaluation of Iterative Packet Combining and Multipacket Detection Schemes for SC-FDE

TL;DR: The paper presents an analytical tool to obtain the Bit Error Rate (BER) and Packet Error rate (PER) performances for Packet Combining (PC), Multipacket Reception (MPR) and the hybrid of both schemes, based on Iterative Block Decision Feedback Equalization (IB-DFE) receivers for Single-Carrier with Frequency-Domain equalization (SC-FDE).

On the use of frequency-domain cross-layer diversity techniques to cope with lost packets

TL;DR: Two time diversity approaches to cope with lost packets are analyzed: a low-complexity diversity combining ARQ scheme (Automatic Repeat reQuest) employed in a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) architecture; and a Network Diversity Multiple Access (NDMA), which is a multi-packet reception approach able to separate multiple mobile terminals transmitting simultaneously in one slot using temporal diversity.

Rate-compatible punctured convolutional codes (RCPC codes) and their applications

TL;DR: In this article, the concept of punctured convolutional codes is extended by punctuating a low-rate 1/N code periodically with period P to obtain a family of codes with rate P/(P+l), where l can be varied between 1 and (N-1)P. This allows transmission of incremental redundancy in ARQ/FEC (automatic repeat request/forward error correction) schemes and continuous rate variation to change from low to high error protection within a data frame.
