Finite-Blocklength Analysis of Coded Modulation with Retransmission.

The rapid developments of 5G and B5G networks have posed higher demands on retransmission in certain scenarios. This article reviews classical finite-length coding performance prediction formulas and proposes rate prediction formulas for coded modulation retransmission scenarios. Specifically, we demonstrate that a recently proposed model for correcting these prediction formulas also exhibits high accuracy in coded modulation retransmissions. To enhance the generality of this model, we introduce a range variable Pfinal to unify the predictions with different SNRs. Finally, based on simulation results, the article puts forth recommendations specific to retransmission with a high spectral efficiency.
