Abstract (EN): The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) systems, encompassing a wide range of devices and sensors with limited battery life, has highlighted the critical need for energy-efficient solutions to extend the operational lifespan of these battery-powered devices. One effective strategy for reducing energy consumption is minimizing the number and size of retransmitted packets in case of communication errors. Among the potential solutions, Incremental Redundancy Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (IR-HARQ) communication schemes have emerged as particularly compelling options by adopting the best aspects of error control, namely, automatic repetition and variable redundancy. This work addresses the challenge by developing a simulator capable of executing and analysing several (H)ARQ schemes using different channel models, such as the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and Gilbert-Elliott (GE) models. The primary objective is to compare their performance across multiple metrics, enabling a thorough evaluation of their capabilities. The results indicate that IR-HARQ outperforms alternative methods, especially in the presence of burst errors. Furthermore, its potential for further adaptation and enhancement opens up new ways for optimizing energy consumption and extending the lifespan of battery-powered IoT devices.
