Abstract The performance of ARQ systems can be improved by combining current and prior transmissions at the receiver. Two techniques for combining outputs in a packet-based communication system are presented. In both techniques the fundamental unit of retransmission is a packet, and the fundamental unit of combining is a codeword. The techniques are analyzed for a bursty channel and a system that employs Reed–Solomon coding and bounded-distance errors-and-erasures decoding. Performance results show that the packet-combining schemes provide significant gains in throughput and reductions in error probability when compared with a system that does not employ combining.
