A wireless packet data link protocol with performance enhancements
M.L. Needham, K.J. Crisler · 2002
A packet data protocol is described which provides connectionless packet data services for wireless and mobile radio data systems. Features of the protocol such as selective automatic repeat-request (S-ARQ) and multi-packet streaming allow efficient operation with error-prone channels and radio units limited to half-duplex operation. A detailed analytical model of the protocol is described, and protocol performance results are obtained.
