Conventional adaptive transmission schemes perform poorly in wireless correlated slow-fading channels. A cross-layer adaptive transmission scheme combined with selective repeat automatic repeat request (SR-ARQ) is proposed. We apply a multi-state Markov system model for analyzing the performance of systems and optimizing the selection of modulation levels and packet sizes in correlated fading channels, which is also described by a finite-state Markov chain. A general closed-form expression of the average throughput for our suggested scheme is presented. Numerical results show that our adaptive scheme combined with SR-ARQ can obtain good performance in correlated fading channels.
