Multiple antenna communication system using automatic repeat request error correction scheme

摘要

An Automatic Repeat reQuest (ARQ) error correction transmitting apparatus and method in a multiple antenna system are provided. In the ARQ error correction apparatus, a serial-to-parallel converter converts serial input data to parallel data, a retransmission processor determines a permutation transmission mode with respect to an initial transmission mode, in response to a retransmission request fed back from a receiver, and an STBC encoder STBC-encodes the parallel data and transmits the STBC-coded data through the transmit antennas according to the permutation transmission mode.
