An Analysis of a Point-to-Multipoint Channel Using a Go-Back-N Error Control Protocol
Don Towsley · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 1985
This paper contains a performance analysis of an error control protocol operating in a point-to-multipoint environment. This protocol, called broadcast go-back-N[BGB(N)], is a generalization of the standard go-back-Npoint-to-point protocol. Expressions for the message throughput and expected message delay are obtained. Numerical results are provided for a satellite communications system.
