Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the issue of error control in wireless communication networks. We review the alternative error control schemes available for providing reliable end-to-end communication in wireless environments. Through case studies, the performance and tradeoffs of these schemes are shown. Based on the application environments and QoS requirements, the design issues of error control are discussed to achieve the best solution.
