A Simple Amplify-and-Forward ARQ scheme with network coding

Network coding (NC) and cooperative communication are both attractive techniques in wireless communication system. However the research of how to practically combine these two technologies, especially amplify-and-forward (AF) and NC to improve the system performance, is little. This paper proposes a simple AF automatic repeat request (ARQ) scheme with NC, which can be easy adopt by present time division multiple access (TDMA) system with ARQ to achieve throughput gain.
