Abstract

The effectiveness of the recursive retransmission control algorithm proposed by B. Hajek (Proc. Inf. Sci. and Syst., p.116-20, Mar. 1982) is examined in the presence of jamming. The spread-spectrum network subjected to jamming is assumed to have infinite user population, employing both forward-error control (FEC) and automatic repeat request (ARQ), and a fixed arrival rate of new packets. Although the composite traffic, consisting of new transmissions (NTxs) and retransmissions (RTxs), is not Poisson, it can be approximated as such. Details for the throughput and the stability of the system are given based on a local Poisson approximation. Stability conditions are given for different levels of user side information
