Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new hybrid ARQ technique for broadcasting or multicasting in erasure channel. The system is tested according to the objective criteria—quantity of information sent by the source, loses, and number of negative acknowledgments (NACKs) sent by the receiver nodes (end nodes). We compare our proposed method with automatic repeat request (ARQ), hybrid ARQ II (HARQ II), and also with a forward error correction (FEC) transmission technique based on Reed Solomon code (RS). The main focus of the presented HARQ is to reduce the quantity of redundant information sent by the source as well as the number of NACKs sent by the receivers, maintaining the condition that all the information is being recovered successfully by the receivers.
