In this study the authors discuss the performance of the link layer protocol of future 10 Gb/s short‐range infrared links. The authors utilise analytical and simulation results to calculate the protocol efficiency both in a half‐duplex mode of operation, which is currently standardised and a full‐duplex mode that is considered for the future standard. The results show that the half‐duplex protocol will require a significant extension on the window size, and optionally the frame size, in order to provide maximum efficiency for all possible physical layer arrangements. The full‐duplex protocol, on the other hand, requires limited window and frame sizes and therefore has the potential to provide a significant gain in link layer metrics, such as latency and buffering.
