In this paper, we determine an exact formula for the throughput performance of the GBN SR scheme, in which the go-back-N ARQ scheme is used for inter-block transmission and the selective repeat scheme is used for intra-block transmission. Using that formula, the throughput performance of GBN SR scheme is compared with that of Benelli's (1986, 1993) scheme in a numerical manner. As a result, it is shown that the throughput performance of the GBN SR scheme is superior to that of Benelli's scheme in a wider range of packet error rate from low to medium, but is inferior at high packet error rates
