abstract = {Type-II Hybrid-ARQ (Type-II HARQ) has been shown,
under certain circumstances, to increase the efficiency and reduce loss of data
transmissions over a wireless channel. However, it is difficult to predict how
it will perform when transmission symbol errors are correlated. We present a
computationally efficient approach to the performance evaluation of packet
transmissions over a wireless link employing Type-II HARQ error mitigation when
the physical channel is subject to correlated transmission symbol errors. This
provides a tool for static or online optimization of system parameters. We
present numerical results for a wide range of channel statistics, illustrating
the effect of bit error correlation, bit error rate, and block size on packet
latency and loss rate.}
