摘要

In this paper, we discuss a finite-buffer single-server queue wherein arrivals occur according to a Markovian arrival process. The server serves customers in batches according to (ab) bulk-service rule, that is, the server serves in batches of maximum size “b” with a minimum threshold size “a”. The service time of each batch follows the class of distributions whose Laplace-Stieltjes transforms are rational functions (R-type distributions). The queue capacity is N excluding the batch with the server. An alternative approach for finding the queue-length probability vector at a post-departure epoch has been proposed using the roots of a characteristic equation. Queue-length probability vectors at random and pre-arrival epochs have also been obtained using the embedded Markov chain, Markov renewal theory, and the semi-Markov processes. Approximation to the phase-wise virtual waiting-time distribution (in the queue as well as in the system) of a random customer is derived using the functional relation between the vector generating function (vgf) for the queue-length probability vectors at a random epoch and the vector containing the phase-wise Laplace-Stieltjes transform (LST) of the queueing-time distribution of a random customer. Using the LST, we discuss the derivation of an approximate phase-wise probability density function of the virtual waiting-time of a random customer as well as its numerical implementations.
