Abstract: In this paper we proposed multistage adaptive
ARQ/HARQ/HARQ scheme. This method combines pure ARQ
(Automatic Repeat reQuest) mode in low channel bit error rate and
hybrid ARQ method using two different Reed-Solomon codes in
middle and high error rate conditions. It follows, that our scheme has
three stages. The main goal is to increase number of states in adaptive
HARQ methods and be able to achieve maximum throughput for
every channel bit error rate. We will prove the proposal by
calculation and then with simulations in land mobile satellite channel
environment. Optimization of scheme system parameters is described
in order to maximize the throughput in the whole defined Signal-to-
Noise Ratio (SNR) range in selected channel environment.
