The work investigates the behavior of a 3rd generation radio link control protocol on the forward link of a multicarrier DS-CDMA architecture that employs Walsh and quasi-orthogonal channelization codes. Protocol performance is assessed analytically, determining the average delay suffered by a data unit transferred over the radio channel. For alternative allocation policies of Walsh and quasi-orthogonal codes, the effects on throughput of different transmission qualities and size of protocol data units are evaluated.
