Energy-conserving go-back-N ARQ protocols for wireless data networks
Imrich Chlamtac, Chiara Petrioli, Jason Redi · 2002
Mobile computer communications fundamentally implies reliance on a self-contained, portable power source and communications over an error-prone fading radio channel. We propose two energy-conserving alternatives to the classical go-back-N ARQ protocol which allow a substantial energy saving over the traditional approach by reducing the number of uplink acknowledgments required, while preserving good delay/throughput performance.
