Abstract
We study the Go-back-infinity protocol under a two-state Markov chain packet-loss model, where the delay for packet acknowledgments is rando m. Expressions are presented for the z transform, mean, and variance o f the time tau taken to successfully transmit N packets. In addition, we discuss how the probability distribution of the delay for packet ac knowledgments can affect E[tau].
