Abstract

We formulate and analyze a model for the resequencing buffer of the Selective Repeat protocol over a general class of transmission channels. Thanks to its efficiency, Selective Repeat is a ubiquitous error control mechanism in many different settings, in particular in wireless protocols such as WiMax and WiFi. We provide both an exact model as well as a computationally efficient large-deviations result of the receiver buffer performance with general Markovian error processes. Numerical examples show that the correlation of the error process has an important influence on the performance of the receiver buffer.
