Abstract
The throughput of conventional automatic-repeat-request (ARQ) protocols, such as the stop-and-wait, go-back-N, and selective repeat, can be improved by dynamically adapting the protocol block length so that it approaches the optimum value for varying channel bit error rates. A very simple algorithm to implement such an adaptive scheme is presented. The algorithm assumes a known block error rate, estimates the bit error rate, and determines the best block length. Results of a simulation study show that in spite of its simplicity, the algorithm performs well.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
