A major concern in data communication such as OFDM is to control transmission errors caused by the channel noise so that error free data can be delivered to the user. Rate compatible punctured turbo (RCPT) coded hybrid ARQ (RCPT HARQ) has been found to give improved throughput performance in a OFDM system. However the extent to which the RCPT HARQ improves the throughput performance of the OFDM system has not been fully understood. HARQ has been suggested as a means of providing high data rate and high throughput communication in next generation systems through diversity combining transmit attempts at the receiver. The combination of RCPT HARQ with OFDM provides significant bandwidth at close to capacity rates of channel. In this paper, we evaluate by computer simulations the throughput performance of RCPT code HARQ for OFDM system as compared to that of conventional OFDM. Keywords: OFDM, hybrid ARQ, rate compatible punctured turbo codes, mobile communication, multipath fading I. INTRODUCTION with each transmission would result in the highest throughput as unnecessary redundancy is avoided. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing has been However in a practical system, [4] the number of considered as one of the strong standard candidates retransmissions allowed is limited to avoid for the next generation mobile radio communication unacceptable time delay before the successful systems. Multiplexing a symbol data serial stream transmission. When the number of retransmissions is into a large number of orthogonal sub channels makes limited, the residual bit error is produced. the OFDM [1] signals spectral bandwidth efficient. Recently, high speed and high quality packet data II. RCPT ENCODER/DECODER AND RCPT communication is gaining more importance. A major HARQ concern in wireless data communication is to control transmission errors caused by the channel noise so The RCPT encoder and decoder are included as a part that error free data can be delivered to the user. For of the transmission system model shown in fig.1. successful packet data communication, hybrid RCPT encoder consists of a turbo encoder, a puncture automatic repeat request (HARQ) is the most reliable and a buffer. Turbo encoder /decoder parameters are error control technique for the OFDM systems as in shown in Table 1. HARQ schemes, channel coding is used for the error correction which is not applied in the Simple ARQ Table 1. Turbo encoder/ decoder parameters schemes. In HARQ, the advantage of obtaining high Rate 1/3 reliability in ARQ system is coupled with advantage of forward error correction system to provide a good Component RSC Encoder throughput even in poor channel conditions. Turbo encoder codes, introduced in 1993 by Berrou et al., have been Interleaver S-random intensively studied as the error correction code for (S = K ½) mobile radio communications. Rate compatible Component Log-MAP punctured turbo (RCPT) coded HARQ (RCPT decoder Decoder HARQ) scheme was proposed in [2] and shown to Number of 8 achieve enhanced throughput performance over an iterations additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. In [3] it is shown that the throughput of the RCPT Turbo encoder considered in this paper is a rate 1/3 hybrid ARQ scheme outperforms other ARQ schemes encoder. Turbo encoded sequences are punctured by over fading and shadowing channels. the puncturer and the different sequences obtained are stored in the transmission buffer for possible In this paper, we evaluate the throughput performance retransmissions.

The punctured sequences are received buffer. The depuncturer inserts a channel of different length for different puncturing periods. value of 0 for those bits that are not yet received and The sequence to be transmitted is block interleaved 3 sequences, each equal to the information sequence by a channel interleaver and then transformed into length, are input to the turbo decoder where decoding PSK symbol sequence.

For type I to obtain the OFDM signal waveform. This is done HARQ, the two parity bit sequences are punctured by applying the inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT). with P = 2 and the punctured bit sequence is After the insertion of a guard interval (GI), the transmitted along with the systematic bit sequence. If OFDM signal is transmitted over Additive white the receiver detects errors in the decoded sequence, a Gaussion noise channel and received by multiple retransmission of that packet is requested. The antennas at the receiver. The OFDM signal received retransmitted packet uses the same puncturing matrix on each antenna is decomposed into the Nc as the previous packet. Instead of discarding the orthogonal subcarrier components by applying the erroneous packet, it is stored and combined with the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and each subcarrier retransmitted packet utilizing the packet combining or component coherently detected to be combined with time diversity (TD) combing effect. those from other antennas based on maximal ratio combining.
