Performance Analysis of Double-layered ARQ

In this paper, we propose a retransmission based error control scheme in which a stop-and-wait ARQ is simultaneously performed in two adjacent layers for the node-to-node error control. We develop an analytical numerical method to calculate the probability of error remains and the moments of the high layer message delay time at steady state. Using the analytical method, we investigate the performance of double-layered ARQ scheme with respect to the properties of the employed CRC codes and the characteristics of the involved channel.
