Performances of HARQ technique with UMTS turbo code in Nakagami fading channels

In this paper, the performances of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) technique are evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation process. The analysis is done for the case of Nakagami-m fading channel, when Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) turbo code is used. HARQ procedure performance are determined for several values of distribution parameter m, in the case of independent and time correlated fading channel.
