Abstract

This work develops finite state channel (FSC) models for a discrete communication channel with flat fading and analyzes the throughput efficiency of the Go-Back-N (GBN) scheme of the automatic repeat request protocol on FSC models. This protocol performance measure is then applied to determine the range of parameters of the communication system in which the binary error sequence generated by the discrete channel can be approximated by two classes of FSC models: first-order Markov and Gilbert-Elliott channel. The influence of the various parameters of the communication system on the throughput of the GBN protocol is evaluated
