Significant advance in the networks design led to the need of optimizing the future communication
protocols with the aim to evaluate the network performance. The most common techniques include
simulation, analytical models and analysis of empirical data. Accurate error process modelling is
necessary for understanding the network behaviour and is essential in designing of error control
protocols or real time applications. Discrete Markov models, mainly the Gilbert model, are
commonly used for modelling the network error characteristics. This approach is based on the
analysis of a communication on link. In this paper we present error model for packet loss and
subsequent error description. The proposed model simulates the error performance of wireless
communication link. The model is designed as two independent Markov chains, where the first one
is used for packet generation and the second one generates correctly and incorrectly transmitted bits
for received packets from the first chain. The statistical analyses of real communication on the
wireless link are used for determination of model’s parameters. The obtained results generated by
proposed model are compared with the real data collection. It is also designed and programmed
generator for received traffic. First part of this generator is a generator for packet loss. Second part is
a generator for bit error rate. Using the obtained parameters and the implementation of the generator,
we collected generated traffic. The obtained results generated by proposed model are compared with
the real data collection.
