ARQ strategies for MIMO eigenmode transmission with adaptive modulation and coding

Packet retransmission strategies are presented for MIMO eigenmode transmission where adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) is implemented. The retransmission design is based on weighted linear MMSE. It includes the transmit and receiver filter, the power and eigenmode allocation and AMC level when new packets are transmitted. The weight matrix of WMMSE is used to appropriately weight streams with different AMC levels in order to maximize the system throughput. Simulations show that the choice of the weight factors has a major impact on the performance.
