An Alternative Approach to Hybrid ARQ Systems-Joint Channel and Network Coding

Exclusively Licensed

Systems and methods for improved packet throughput using partial packets are provided in which data recovery of partial packets of a plurality of received coded packets is performed across the plurality of received coded packets. The plurality of received coded packets, including the received partial packets, can be buffered in a memory and used in recovering the data for the partial packets. As soon as the total number of received packets (including valid and partial) becomes greater than the generation size, a decoding process can be attempted utilizing the partial packets as part of the redundancy used for data recovery. During the decoding process, the received packets are evaluated across packets instead of on a per-packet basis.
