Performance analysis of multi-channel ARQ protocols

Automatic-Repeat-Request (ARQ) protocols are widely used to control errors in many computer communication systems. In this paper, we derive analytical models that describe the throughput efficiency of multi-channel ARQ schemes. In particular, we develop models that describe the behavior of the multi-channel ARQ schemes: Stop-and-Wait, Go-Back-N, and Selective-Repeat protocols.<<ETX>>
