摘要
This article mainly investigates the combining schemes for hybrid automatic retransmission request （HARQ） protocols in multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） wireless communication systems. A novel scheme, which joins MIMO detection and HARQ combining, called mid-combining, is presented in this article. Based on the position of HARQ combining, we classify the HARQ combining schemes into three types, named pre-combining, mid-combining, and post-combining. The simulation results show that mid- combining can increase the system throughput for all SNRs.
