3 Thesis title Abstract Time Diversity Solutions to Cope with Lost Packets Modern broadband wireless systems require high throughputs and can also have very high Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements, namely small error rates and short delays. Lost packets, either due to errors or collisions, are usually discarded and need to be retransmitted, leading to performance degradation. An alternative to simple retransmission that can improve both power and spectral efficiency is to combine the signals associated to different transmission attempts. This thesis analyses two time diversity approaches to cope with lost packets that are relatively similar at physical layer but handle different packet loss causes. Finally, it is shown that both approaches represent viable solutions for future broadband wireless communications complementing each other.

A new medium access control protocol, MH-MAC, is proposed in order to handle with infrequent peaks of traffic. MH-MAC is a multimode hybrid protocol that can be configured by the application to run in asynchronous mode or in synchronous mode, with or without contention, providing a good performance-consumption trade-off.
