The present invention discloses a self-adapting cooperative retransmission method based on the self-adapting coding modulation. The method selects an appropriate coding modulation plan grade and a largest retransmission number for transmitting the data package according to the channel state information of the direct transmission link from a source end to a target end and the service quality request of different services. Because of the broadcast characteristic of the radio channel, the target end and a relay node can receive the data simultaneously. If the target end does not decode correctly, the retransmission is actuated. The retransmission by the source end or the relay node is determined by the selected coding modulation plan and whether the relay node correctly receives the data package. The invention combines the self-adapting coding modulation technique, a hybrid automatic retransmission technique and cooperative diversity for consideration. The cooperation is selected to execute at the time when the cooperative gain is evident. The incorrect or no-gain cooperation is avoided thereby improving the transmission quality and effectively optimizing the whole capability of the system at the state that the spending of the cooperation signaling is reduced as possible.

Diversity techniques are commonly used in wireless communications to combat multi-path fading. Recent interests in ultra -wideband technology focus on multi-band OFDM systems that can explore the high diversity due to the independent frequency bands. To achieve full diversity with high data rate, a system (800), apparatus (500) and method that uses coded modulation with spreading rotation of transmitted signals. A 2x2 integer rotation matrix for QAM signals, 3x3 and 4x4 integer rotation matrices for QAM signals are provided.

Further, the present invention achieves cooperative diversity not only from distributed users but also from the signal space diversity of each user. An embodiment is provided for a cooperative system (100) in which different rows of integer rotation matrices are used by a source and relays as a modulation scheme to increase cooperative diversity.
