In this paper, we propose a new automatic repeat request (ARQ) scheme, named Go-Back-i-symbol (GBi) ARQ scheme, suitable to Meteor Burst Communications (MBC). The scheme realizes symbol-wise ARQ by using the Viterbi decoding algorithm for convolutional codes. We also propose a practical transmission protocol for applying the GBi-ARQ scheme to packet communications over time varying short burst channels such as meteor burst channels. Fundamental performances of the GBi-ARQ scheme in MBC are
