Abstract

This paper presents an analytical approach for analyzing the mean packet delay and mean queue length at the transmitting terminal in wireless packet networks using the selective repeat (SR) automatic repeat request (ARQ) scheme to control the errors introduced by the nonstationary transmission channel. Each transmitting terminal is modeled as a discrete time queue with an infinite buffer. The nonstationary transmission channel is modeled as a two-state Markov chain. Comparisons of numerical predictions and simulation results are presented to highlight the accuracy of the proposed analytical approach
