OPTIMUM MESSAGE LENGTH FOR A DATA COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM USING RETRANSMISSION ERROR CONTROL

Abstract

In this report, a mathematical model of a data communications system using retransmission error control is developed. System performance is specified by information throughput, the amount of error-free data transferred per unit of time. Information throughput is determined as a function of message length, taking into account transmission delay, channel error rate, and overhead words in the data message.
