Abstract :
This paper investigates ARQ operation in a satellite communications system with intersatellite links. The satellite is considered to have on-board processing (OBP) capability which differs from a conventional bent-pipe satellite system. Throughput efficiency is derived for OBP ARQ and compared to bent-pipe ARQ. A general scenario with multiple intersatellite links is examined. Both noiseless feedback channel and noisy feedback channel cases are considered. Analytical and simulation results show significant throughput gain with OBP ARQ compared to bent-pipe ARQ
