A random access protocol that adopts stop-and-wait automatic repeat request (ARQ) is proposed for optical code-division multiple-access (CDMA) communication systems. A detailed state diagram and a mathematical model based on the equilibrium point analysis (EPA) technique are presented. Several ...
[0027] Dual-channel Stop-and-Wait ARQ [0028] Dual channel Stop-and-Wait ARQ offers a solution by parallelizing the stop-and-wait protocol and in effect running a separate instantiation of the ARQ protocol in the idle channels. As a result no system capacity goes wasted since one instance...
