Abstract

We consider improving the outage performance of incremental-redundancy automatic repeat request (INR-ARQ) transmission over the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) block-fading channel by allowing multi-bit receiver feedback. We show that multi-bit feedback offers significant gain in outage diversity when power adaptation is employed. A suboptimal feedback and power adaptation rule is proposed, illustrating the benefits provided by multi-bit feedback.
