Retransmission control method and communications device
First Claim
1. A retransmission control method for a communications device that transmits a codeword to another communications device using low-density parity check codes as error correcting codes, the retransmission control method comprising:
- generating N parity check matrices optimized at N code rates, respectively, where N is a positive integer, wherein a k-th code rate is lower than a (k−
1)-th code rate, where k is a positive integer from 2 to N;
converting a first parity check matrix so that the first parity check matrix contains a check symbol generator matrix;
generating a generator matrix containing the check symbol generator matrix;
transmitting the codeword generated by using the generator matrix to the another communications device;
generating, when the communications device receives a negative acknowledgment from the another communications device in response to the codeword, a first additional parity by using a second parity check matrix;
retransmitting the first additional parity to the another communications device;
generating, when the communications device receives a negative acknowledgment from the another communications device in response to a (k−
1)-th additional parity generated by using a k-th parity check matrix, a k-th additional parity by using the (k+1)-th parity check matrix; and
retransmitting the k-th additional parity to the another communications device.

Abstract
A retransmission control method comprising: generating N parity check matrices; generating a generator matrix containing a check symbol generator matrix contained in the first parity check matrix; transmitting the codeword generated by using the generator matrix to another communications device; generating, when the communications device receives a NAK in response to the codeword, a first additional parity by using the second parity check matrix; and retransmitting the first additional parity to the another communications device.
