Performance Analysis of a Type-II Hybrid-ARQ in a TDMA System with Correlated Arrival over a Non-Stationary Channel

Abstract

In this work, queueing performance of a type-H hybrid ARQ(Automatic Repeat reQuest)scheme in a TDMA/TDD system with Markovian source over a non-stationary channel is analyzed by assuming infinite queue size. The system of interest can be described by an embedded Markov chain of MIG/1 type which can be solved by matrix analytic method of M/G/1 type. In the numerical examples, power and coding gains are expressed in terms of mean packet delay and dropping probability with various source and channel correlation.
