Advanced Queuing Theory Analysis

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- N point-to-point protocol. Expressions for the message throughput and expected message delay are obtained. Numerical results are provided for a satellite communications system.
