Abstract :
We investigate the statistical distributions of three events, namely the block error detection, correction and misdetection events of a block code on a discrete renewal inner channel, when this inner channel can be modeled by means of a partitioned Markov chain. In order to represent the above mentioned statistical distributions, we introduce the concept of a “super channel model.” Analytical procedures to determine some of the parameters of these super channel models are presented. The application of these models in the design of error control systems, such as ARQ systems, is investigated
