Dormancy-aware timed branching bisimilarity
share
A variant of the standard notion of branching bisimilarity for processes with discrete relative timing is proposed which is coarser than the standard notion. Using a version of ACP (Algebra of Communicating Processes) with abstraction for processes with discrete relative timing, it is shown that the proposed variant allows of the functional correctness of the PAR (Positive Acknowledgement with Retransmission) protocol as well as its performance properties to be analyzed. In the version of ACP concerned, the difference between the standard notion and its proposed variant is characterized by a single axiom schema.
