  • the probability of a retransmission is 8-10%. However, if it moves at the speed of 30 km/h, the probability of a retransmission increases up to 70-80%.

It means the possibility of the collaborative HARQ transmission between the new data packet and the retransmission data packet is 23-29%. It is considered that the probability that the scenario 1 illustrated in FIG. 4( a ) as a normal collaborative transmission without a retransmission is approximately 70%. However, since the scenario 4 illustrated in FIG. 4( d ) indicates a low occurrence probability of a HARQ packet, it does not occur in a practical system.
