Abstract

Block codes are often used in combination with a retransmission strategy to establish an automatic repeat request (ARQ) scheme. The fundamental schemes are stop-and-wait (SW), go-back-N (GBN), and selective repeat (SR) ARQ. Clearly, a performance analysis of an ARQ scheme has to include a suitable channel model. We present an analytical method for evaluating the reliability and throughput of ARQ schemes in burst error channels. An algebraically decoded linear block code is utilized for error detection. The proposed approach leads to closed formulae for reliability and throughput
