Abstract

In this paper we study on the one hand under delayedacknowledgement (Dly-ACK) mechanisms the option of using ACK Request to improve system robustness, and on the other hand the incorporation of effective retransmission schemes such as hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) to improve system throughput for an IEEE 802.15.3 compliant system. An expression of throughput is derived in terms of system parameters and channel conditions. A constrained optimization problem for system throughput is formulated. It is then solved numerically due to the high degree of nonlinearity in the payload size. Our results indicate that under poor channel conditions, the optimal throughput under HARQ scheme is significantly higher than that with ARQ, and larger payload size is proposed to further improve the performance.
