Abstract :
In this paper, we study the system performance of a typical code division multiple access (CDMA) wireless link using a protocol stack in the newly approved data services option standard for wideband spread spectrum digital cellular systems. In particular, we focus on the TCP (transport control protocol) and RLP (radio link protocol) of the protocol stack since the fluctuation of system performance is largely caused by automatic repeat request (ARQ) mechanisms implemented at these two layers. Analytical and simulation results presented here may provide guidance to those attempting to further improve performance of interest
