High-speed table-driven correction and decoding in convolutionally encoded type-I hybrid-ARQ protocols

The authors describe the use of novel table-driven error correction and decoding in convolutionally encoded type-I hybrid-ARQ error control protocols. The table-driven correction and decoding are fast and simple, and can be used at very high data rates. The proposed type-I hybrid-ARQ protocol has simplicity comparable to that of the majority-logic decoding based hybrid-ARQ schemes. But since the retransmission requests can be finely tuned, the throughput losses are minimized and the error correction performance is comparable to that of Viterbi decoding based type-I hybrid-ARQ schemes
