title = "On the performance of adaptive HARQ with no channel state information feedback",
abstract = "This paper presents an adaptive power control scheme for hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) systems with no channel state information feedback. The power control process is developed by noting that the throughput of particular HARQ systems may exhibit a staircase behavior. In such scenarios, the throughput remains fixed for a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Consequently, the transmit power can be reduced significantly while the throughput remains almost unchanged. The obtained results reveal that invoking power optimization algorithms can achieve a significant power saving of about 80% for particular scenarios. The system considered in this work is a truncated HARQ with turbo product codes (TPC). Chase combining is also used to combine the retransmitted packets with the original transmission. HARQ acknowledgment/negative acknowledgment (ACK/NACK) feedback is used to estimate the packet error rate from which the system throughput is computed.",
