Abstract(in English) In this paper, we propose a Markov model which represents size-sequences of two kinds of packets for networks supporting communication protocols that include message-segmentation, error-recovery and window flow control functions (denoted as reliable transmission window protocols: RWPs), such as TCP: packets generated from messages by a sender at the original transmission (namely, generated.packets), and packets contained by frames (i.e., data-link level PDUs) transferred over data-links (referred to as transferred packets). This analytical model makes it possible to discuss the effect of the retransmitted packet size preservation (RPSP-) property, which means that all sizes of transferred packets with the same sequence number at retransmissions are equal to that of the original transmission (identical to generated packet-size). The noticeable effect of the RPSP-property will appear for the networks where the size distribution of generated packets has a large variance and transferred packets are frequently lost with rate dependent on the packet size, as in bit-erroneous link environment. Hence, we present analytical expressions of the mean generated packet size taking message-segmentation function into consideration and of the mean transferred packet size representing the RPSP-property in the environment where bit-errors happen according to Bernoulli bit-error model. Furthermore, we demonstrate numerical results when message sizes are assumed to be exponentially distributed, of which assumption leads the explicit analytical expressions, under different bit-error rates, retransmission schemes, window sizes and payload sizes. The key findings include that the RPSP-property cannot be negligible in the following case: 1) selective retransmission or go-back-TV retransmission with small window sizes is performed, 2) message-segmentation occurrence probability is relatively small, and 3) the bit error rate is high (e.g., 1×10^<-4> the mean bit-error rate of a wireless link in an industrial environment).
