Abstract
Mobile communication channels are frequently plagued by severe noise and disturbances such as multipath fading and doppler effects that severely degrade performance. Among the automatic-repeat-request (ARQ) protocols used to improve the communication channel reliability, the stop-and-wait (SW) is positively characterized by simple implementation and negatively by low throughputs. This work describes the application of some new SW protocols that retain the simple implementation of the classical SW schemes, while reducing the transmitter's wait state time to increase throughput. The performance of the modified SW protocols, derived through computer simulations, is shown to be comparable to that of more complex ARQ protocols.
