Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for improving throughput in a wireless system utilizing Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) retransmission. In general, prior to a HARQ-enabled transmission, one or more channel conditions for a corresponding transmit channel are obtained. Based on the one or more channel conditions, a set of target block error rates for the HARQ-enabled transmission are determined. In one embodiment, the set of target block error rates maximize throughput for the transmit channel utilizing HARQ retransmission. In another embodiment, the set of target block error rates optimize throughput and one or more additional parameters for the transmit channel utilizing HARQ retransmission.
