Abstract

Abstract : A packet transmission strategy for multiple‐input multiple‐output systems with interference cancellation detection and hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes is proposed. The error probability and throughput of such a system depend on the choice of the set of packets to be transmitted in each packet transmission time interval, but there are no existing implementable strategies to optimise such choice of packets. In this study, the authors first define a concept of the effective interference level (EIL) and establish the relationship between the EIL and the effective signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio. Then they show that choosing the set of packets that minimises the EIL successively from the lowest to the highest HARQ round leads to a lower packet error and higher system throughput than conventional HARQ, which is verified by simulation. Also, the proposed EIL‐based scheme uses only the acknowledgement feedback messages like a conventional HARQ scheme, because the number of HARQ rounds of each packet is the only required information to calculate the EIL. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the conventional scheme in terms of throughput with the signal‐to‐noise ratio gain of about 4.2 dB at maximum.
