Table 1 IDMA-based cooperative partial-packet-recovery protocols.

From: IDMA-based cooperative partial packet recovery: principles and applications

Phase I

The sources send packets to the destination, the relays can listen the transmission between the sources and destination.

Phase II

The destination checks whether the received packets have an error or not.

If the error is detected, the destination feeds back a retransmission request message. Otherwise, the destination broadcasts an ACK message, and the system goes back to Phase I.

Phase III

If a request message is feeded back by the destination, the relay performs the partial packet retransmission with IDMA. If no error go to Phase I; otherwise keep the partial packet retransmission in Phase III until the maximum number of retransmission is reached.
