Abstract

This paper analyzes a finite-buffer queueing system, where customers arrive in batches and the accepted customers are served in batches by a single server. The service is assumed to be dependent on the batch-size and follows a general bulk service rule. The inter-arrival times of batches are assumed to be correlated and they are represented through the batch Markovian arrival process (BMAP). Computation procedure of the queue-length distributions at the post-batch-service completion, an arbitrary, and the pre-batch-arrival epochs are discussed. Various performance measures along with the consecutive customer loss probabilities are studied considering batch-size-dependent renewal service time distributions. Further, the above finite-buffer bulk-service queueing model is also investigated considering correlated batch-service times which are presented through the Markovian service process (MSP). The phase-dependent consecutive loss probabilities for the correlated batch-service times are determined. In the form of tables and graphs, a variety of numerical results for different batch-service time distributions are presented in this paper.
