In a packet transmission system erroneous packets can be stored and combined with later repetitions of the same packet to increase the data throughput. This technique is known as packet combining, and its application to the IEEE802.11a standard will be investigated in this letter. The achievable performance gain will be obtained under restrictions imposed by the standards.
