In this paper, we analyze the delay performance for a Markovian source transported over a wireless channel with time-varying error characteristics. To improve the reliability of the channel, the end points of the wireless link implement a selective-repeat (SR) ARQ error control protocol. We provide an approximate discrete-time analysis of the end-to-end mean packet delay, which consists of transport and resequencing delays. Numerical results and simulations indicate that our approximate analysis is sufficiently accurate for a wide range of parameter values.
