This paper presents an exact analysis of the type-I hybrid automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocol for a frequency-hop (FH) communication system that uses symbol interleaving, multiple codewords per packet, and multiple symbols per dwell interval. The analysis relies on exact formulas for the probab...
