“…For example, classical ARQ protocols used for wireless networks comprise three basic schemes: send-and-wait, Go-back-N and selectiverepeat [18,19]. More recently, ECC has been studied in the context of WSNs for schemes like LDPC codes [5,6,20], RS Codes [3,5,6,15,20,21], BCH Codes [6,22,23], etc. Further, HARQ may combine any of these schemes to form a hybrid scheme of ARQ and ECC.…”
