It has been shown that the performances of single-receiver ARQ schemes are largely dependent on the packet-error process, i.e., for dependent packet-error environment, they are under- or over- estimated by analyzing them under the assumption that packet-errors occur at random. While, multi-receiver ARQ's have not been analyzed and evaluated for dependent packet-error process. In this paper, we analyze the throughput efficiency of the fundamental multi-receiver Go-back-N ARQ scheme, which can be implemented very simply, over an unreliable channel modeled by the two-state Markov process. Any receiver erroneously receives a packet with probability inherent to each state. From numerical results, we show that the throughput efficiency of the fundamental multi-receiver Go-Back-N ARQ scheme depends on the number of receivers, round-trip-delay, and the characteristic of the Markov process. Also we show that the throughput efficiency of the fundamental multi-receiver Go-Back-N ARQ scheme for larger decay factor and larger difference between packet error probability at each state is considerably better than that for the random error pattern.
