We consider adaptive modulation and coding (AMC)<br>\nand hybrid ARQ (HARQ) and analyse their interaction; in particular, we<br>\nexplain why the conventional HARQ which reserves the channel blocks to<br>\ncarry the coded versions of the same information packet, is unable to<br>\nincrease the throughput in the range of high-SNR. We then discuss<br>\ndegrees of freedom in the design of HARQ with the main focus being on<br>\nthe joint encoding\/decoding of many packets and on the related design<br>\nissues. We show various solutions which lead us to a simple two-layer<br>\nencoding where, first, the binary packets compressed, and next, the<br>\nresults are passed to the conventional channel encoder. This approach<br>\nallows us to use off-the-shelf decoders, and the coding rates can be<br>\ndeduced from the empirical decoding curves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Speaker Bio:<\/strong> Leszek Szczecinski is Professor at INRS, University of Quebec,<br>\nCanada.
