As opposed to hybrid automatic repeat request with incremental redundancy (HARQ-IR) that all the resources are occupied resend redundant information, cross-packet HARQ (XP-HARQ) allows introduction of new information into retransmissions substantially exploit remaining resources. This letter provides a profound investigation outage performance XP-HARQ. In particular, exact expression XP-HARQ is...

The application of photonic technologies to packet switching offers the potential of very large switch capacity in the terabit per second range. The merging of packet switching with photonic technologies opens up the possibility of packet switching in transparent photonic media, in which packets remain in optical form without undergoing optoelectronic conversion. This paper reviews recent work ...
