AbstractAs multicast ATM network becomes an important research field because it is the solution of providing point-to-multipoint data transmission in BISDN network, error control in multicast ATM network attracts many research's interest but it is not fully addressed. In this thesis performances when ARQ schemes are applied in the high speed multicast ATM network are studied and four ARQ schemes are proposed: End-to-end go-back-N, end-to-end SR, cascaded go-back-N and cascaded SR ARQs. They can be used in regenerators (with an ARQI to distinguish the services that need ARQ from the ATM transmission) or completely from transmitter to end receiver. A detailed design for cell format modification, the format of acknowledgment cell, cell numbering system, CRC code and the N to 1 return channel access procedures are presented. A method of estimating the error detecting capability of a CRC code is developed, which can be used in analyzing the error detecting and error correcting performance of any block code too. Throughputs, traffic increments and buffer requirements of proposed four ARQs are analyzed and the computation formulas are obtained. Finally, numerical results of the performance are computed. To verify the correctness of the analytical results, the simulation programs have been developed in C language. The program describes the decoding operations, simulates the error channel and calculates the performance. The results obtained through simulation have shown very good agreements with the analytical ones.
