abstract ={A novel hybrid ARQ (HARQ) scheme using a
concatenated two-state trellis-coded modulation (CT-TCM) code is proposed for
improving wireless TCP throughput. A distinguished feature of the proposed
scheme is that the heavily punctured TCM codes are used for retransmissions of
the corrupted data block, which are combined at the receiver with the previously
received sequences of the same data block for decoding. By this method,
significantly improved coding gain and efficient spectrum utilization can be
achieved with very low complexity. A Markov model is developed to evaluate TCP
throughput over the proposed HARQ in wireless link. By both analysis and
simulation, we demonstrate that compared with other existing TCM-based ARQ
schemes, significant improvement of TCP throughput over wireless links is
achieved by the proposed CT-TCM HARQ while smaller buffer size is required at
the access point.}
