Abstract

In this paper, we propose and analyze a scheme for wireless channels, which is the combination of an automatic repeat request (ARQ) scheme and power ramping. The power ramping is used for more reliable downlink data transmission. This technique gradually increases the transmission power at each retransmission attempt. Simulation results demonstrate that when the power step size is 0.5 dB, the average throughput gain may be as high as 2.3% to 5.4% with properly selected parameters.
