Abstract

Vehicular, military and industrial field wireless deployments take place in harsh environments affected by impulsive noise. This letter proposes the use of a selective automatic repeat request (SR-ARQ) scheme where the data transmission rate is optimized in order to minimize the mean delay. The optimization procedure is proposed in relation to the use of a soft-limiting detector that eliminates out-of-amplitude noise at the receiving end. The superiority of the optimized SR-ARQ scheme over different alternatives is clearly shown in the letter.
