Abstract(in English) The reliability-based hybrid ARQ (RB-HARQ) scheme, which can be used with error correcting codes using soft-input soft-output (SISO) decoders such as convolutional codes and turbo codes, has been proposed. In the RB-HARQ scheme, the error rate performance is improved by selecting retransmission bits based on log likelihood ratio (LLR) of each bit in the receiver. However, the receiver has to send the bit positions of retransmission bits to the transmitter. Thus, the conventional RB-HARQ scheme requires a large number of feedback bits. In this report we first show that when low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoding fails, the error bits are scattered in a block. Based on this fact, we propose the LDPC coded Hybrid ARQ scheme with reduced feedback information. The proposed scheme specifies the retransmission bits by each subblock so that it can significantly reduce the number of feedback bits, while the conventional RB-HARQ scheme specifies the retransmission bits from the whole packet. We show that the proposed scheme reduces the number of feedback bits than that of the conventional RB-HARQ scheme. We also show that the proposed scheme achieves higher throughput than the conventional RB-HARQ scheme at the same number of feedback bits.
