Abstract

We propose a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) selection algorithm for the collaborative hybrid Automatic-Repeat-reQuest (ARQ) protocol in order to provide high data rates. The collaborative hybrid ARQ protocol is designed to benefit from diversity gain. It exploits not only the broadcast nature of wireless channels, but also spatial diversity by formation of virtual antenna arrays and collaboration between a base station and relay nodes through Space-Time Block Coding (STBC). The proposed algorithm estimates both the effective Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) and the average throughput of each MCS level, and then selects the MCS level maximizing the average throughput. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms conventional MCS selection algorithms in terms of the total throughput and satisfies packet delay constraints.
