Abstract

In ARQ based error control, imperfect error detection leaves error remains on a packet. Aiming for a reduction of error remains in multicopy transmission ARQ system, we propose a rule of requesting a retransmission and deciding a correct copy, (identified as $(m, \;{\sigma})$rule). While the probability of error remains is reduced by the employment of the $(m, \;{\sigma})$ rule at multicopy transmission ARQ, delay and throughput performance may be degraded in comparison with those of conventional single copy transmission ARQ. Thus, we develop an analytical method to evaluate the performance trade-off in multicopy transmission ARQ following the $(m, \;{\sigma})$ rule. From the numerical results obtained by the analytical method, we investigate the effect of channel characteristics on the performance of error remains, packet loss, throughput, and packet delay, and confirm that the adaptability of the $(m, \;{\sigma})$ rule to conform to various QoS requirements with ease.

ARQ 기반의 오류 제어에서 불완전한 오류 검출로 인해 패킷에 오류가 잔류하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 사본 중복 전송 ARQ에서 잔류 오류를 감소시키기 위한 재전송 요청 및 오류없는 사본의 결정 규칙을 제안한다. 이러한 $(m, \;{\sigma})$ 규칙을 사본 중복 전송 ARQ에 적용할 때, 잔류 오류는 감소하나 기존의 단일 사본만을 전송하는 ARQ에 비해 지연 및 throughput 성능은 열화될 수 있다. 따라서 $(m, \;{\sigma})$ 규칙이 적용된 사본 중복 전송 ARQ에서 야기되는 성능의 trade-off를 평가하기 위한 해석적 방법을 개발한다. 이러한 해석적 방법으로 구한 계량적 결과로부터 $(m, \;{\sigma})$ 규칙의 파라미터, 채널의 성질, 트래픽 부하가 오류 잔류 확률, 패킷 상실, 패킷 지연, throughput 등에 미치는 영향을 검토하여 다양한 QoS 요구 조건을 용이하게 수용할 수 있는 $(m, \;{\sigma})$ 규칙의 적응성을 확인한다.
