Abstract :
The effectiveness of employing a stop-and-wait automatic repeat request protocol as well as a go-back-N protocol to cope with transmission errors in infrared wireless connections is examined. Protocol performance for various link parameters, such as window size, packet size and timer time-out values is presented. High window size implementation results in better performance
