Abstract

We not only present an alternative and simpler approach to find steady-state distributions of the number of jobs for the finite-space queueing model G e o / G a , Y / 1 / N using roots of the inherent characteristic equation, but also correct errors in some published papers. The server has a random service capacity Y , and it processes the jobs only when the number of jobs in the system is at least ‘ a ’, a threshold value. The main advantage of this alternative process is that it gives a unified approach in dealing with both finite- and infinite-buffer systems. The queue-length distribution is obtained both at departure and random epochs. We derive the relation between the discrete-time Geo/ G a , Y /1/N queue and its continuous-time analogue. Finally, we deal with performance measures and numerical results.
