Abstract
AbstractIt is known that the performance of a single‐receiver ARQ scheme strongly depends on the packet error generation process. Hence, it is not possible to use results assuming independent (or random) packet errors for performance evaluation of the ARQ scheme in an environment of nonindependent (or burst) packet error generation. This also applies to the performance of the multireceiver ARQ scheme. However, performance evaluation of the multireceiver ARQ scheme has not been carried out in an environment of nonindependent packet error generation. In the present paper, the throughput efficiency of the basic multireceiver Go‐Back‐N ARQ scheme that can be applied when a transmission station sends identical data to the receivers connected to each of multiple parallel channels is derived for the environment of burst packet error generation according to mutually independent two‐state Markov processes. Further, numerical examples based on the derived results are presented and the effect of the number of receiving stations, the round‐trip delay, and the nature of the Markov process on the throughput efficiency is obtained. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
