Improved Delay Estimates for a Queueing Model for Random Linear Coding for Unicast
Consider a lossy communication channel for unicast with zero-delay feedback.
For this communication scenario, a simple retransmission scheme is optimum with
respect to delay. An alternative approach is to use random linear coding in
automatic repeat-request (ARQ) mode. We extend the work of Shrader and
Ephremides, by deriving an expression for the delay of random linear coding
over field of infinite size. Simulation results for various field sizes are
also provided.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, accepted at the 2009 IEEE International Symposium
