Abstract :
Since a switch and stay combining (SSC) scheme performs at the block level, it can be combined with an automatic repeat request (ARQ) scheme. Performance of an ARQ based SSC scheme in a Markov channel is analysed. It demonstrates the performance benefit with SSC-ARQ and the conditions set on the channel state for the scheme to be feasible.
