This paper considers a discrete-time priority queueing model with one server and two types (classes) of customers. Class-1 customers have absolute (service) priority over class-2 customers. New customer batches enter the system at the rate of one batch per slot, according to a general...

In this paper, we analyze some output characteristics of a discrete-time two-class priority queue by means of probability generating functions. Therefore, we construct a Markov chain which - after analysis - provides a.o. the probability generating functions of the lengths of the busy periods of...

We consider a discrete-time infinite-capacity queueing system with a general uncorrelated arrival process, constant-length service times of multiple slots, multiple servers and a first-come-first-served queueing discipline. Under the assumption that the queueing system can reach a steady state,...

In this paper, we study the behavior of a discrete-time multiserver buffer system with infinite buffer size. Packets arrive at the system according to a two-state Markovian arrival process. The service times of the packets are assumed to be constant, equal to multiple slots. The behavior of the...
