An adaptive ARQ scheme with packet combining for time varying channels

The dependence of the efficiency of hybrid type-II ARQ schemes on the packet size in the context of a simple packet combining scheme is discussed. A simple algorithm for adopting the optimum packet size according to the channel bit error rate (BER) is presented. Also, a very simple method of estimating the channel BER is provided.
