An analysis of a point-to-multipoint channel using a go-back-N error control protocol
Abstract
This paper contains a performance analysis of an error control protocol operating in a point-to-multipoint environment. This protocol, called broadcast go-back-N (BGB/N/), is a generalization of the standard go-back-N point-to-point protocol. Expressions for the message throughput and expected message delay are obtained. Numerical results are provided for a satellite communications system.
