A modified type of Hybrid ARQ system with erasures correction and parity bits retransmission is considered. Performance of the system is analyzed under assumption that the forward channel suffers from Nakagami common fading and additive white Gaussian noise. A good agreement between theoretical results and simulation is achieved. The proposed ARQ protocol is compared with other known Hybrid ARQ algorithms. It demonstrates significantly higher throughput efficiency in a range of SNR.
