针对传统编码协作体制在信道条件动态变化的移动场景中存在较严重的性能损失问题,提出一种码率兼容低密度奇偶校验(LDPC)码与混合自动重传请求(HARQ)协议相结合的新型自适应编码协作体制。假设信道状态信息在每次传输时发生变化,通过不等长增量冗余的自动重传,协作节点与目的节点处的等效码率随信道条件变化而获得自适应非线性调整。推导所提体制的中断概率与吞吐量等系统性能表达式,并给出理论分析及仿真结果。实验结果表明,在适当的兼容码率设计下,所提体制与传统体制和等长传输体制相比较可有效降低系统中断概率,提高系统的吞吐量,改善移动环境下协作通信系统的传输可靠性。
To overcome the severe performance loss of conventional coded cooperation schemes under dynamic channel conditions in mobility scenarios, a novel adaptive coded cooperation scheme was proposed by using rate-compatible LowDensity Parity Check( LDPC) codes in combination with a Hybrid Automatic Repeat re Quest( HARQ) protocol. It was assumed that channel state information changed during each transmission. By automatic retransmission of unequal length incremental redundancy, the equivalent code rates at the cooperative and destination nodes could be nonlinearly adjusted with channel conditions. The expressions for outage probability and throughput were derived for evaluating the system performance of the proposed scheme, and theoretical analysis and simulation results were presented. These results show that, compared with conventional schemes and equal-length retransmission schemes, the proposed scheme with properly designed compatible rates can effectively reduce the system outage probability, increase the throughput, and improve the transmission reliability of cooperative communications in mobility scenarios.
