Abstract :
Mobile computer communications fundamentally implies reliance on a self-contained, portable power source and communications over an error-prone fading radio channel. We propose two energy-conserving alternatives to the classical go-back-N ARQ protocol which allow a substantial energy saving over the traditional approach by reducing the number of uplink acknowledgments required, while preserving good delay/throughput performance
