Improving wireless packet throughput using hybrid-II ARQ and physical layer side information

The physical layer side information is employed to improve the throughput of the hybrid-II ARQ protocol in the binary phase shift keying wireless communication system. With the combination of the hybrid-II ARQ and the n-bit-marked error correction scheme, the packet throughput is improved significantly. The numerical examples show that the throughput of this combination scheme may have a maximum gain about 0.26.
