| Abstract: | The polar-coded hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) scheme with chase combining (CC) has very low complexity and is easy to combine with other techniques such as the coded-modulation and space–time coding, etc. However, the CC-HARQ scheme usually suffers from error and throughput performance degradation. A multiple decoding CC-HARQ (MDCC-HARQ) scheme is proposed in this paper by providing extra decoding chances when the joint decoding fails. Specifically, new LLR-sequences are constructed from the received signals, which can be utilized for the extra decoding attempts. Simulation results show that the proposed MDCC-HARQ scheme can achieve better error-performance and higher throughput efficiency, while requires less retransmission when compared with the CC-HARQ scheme. |
