Energy Efficient Bidirectional Relaying Network Coded Harq Transmission Scheme For S-Iot

Recently, with the development of the next generation of high throughput satellites, deploying satellite-based Internet of Things (S-IoT) is suggested to solve the increasing demand for ubiquitous broadband access capability terrestrial communications. Under the current situation that the number of communication devices and the hardware capabilities of devices continue to increase, network coding becomes an effective way to further improve the throughput and efficiency in S-IoTs. In this paper, a Network Coded Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (NCed HARQ) transmission scheme is proposed based on typical bidirectional relaying scenarios of S-IoT, and a general process of the NCed HARQ is presented. The corresponding detailed transmission process is given, and the theoretical performance index is derived and verified by simulations, which emphasizes the benefit of network coding. Besides, we adopt matrix exponential distribution in the calculation to make formulations more concise and unified.
