A novel wireless broadcast retransmission method(WBR)is proposed to improve transmission efficiency over wireless networks. The lost packets from multiple terminals are selected subject to the lower-bounds on the minimum number of retransmissions at base stations. Then the selected packets are combined to generate retransmission packets by employing the opportunistic network coding. Finally
the lost packets are retrieved at terminals from the transmitted retransmission packets. Because the number of retransmission packets is less than that of lost packets
the proposed method can improve network transmission efficiency significantly. Comparisons with the automatic repeat request(ARQ)method and the existing network coding(NC)based methods show that the improvement obtained from the WBR method is clear. The simulation results show that the average number of retransmissions of WBR method is 55% less than that of ARQ method
and the WBR method also outperforms the existing NC based methods.
