A Note on Feedback Queues with Bulk Service

<P>Traditional analysis of bulk queues has relied on classical transform methods, which requires the determination of the complex zeroes of a given function, or iterative numerical techniques. In this research, transform results are used to help find ...

This paper analyzes a discrete-time single-server infinite- (finite-) buffer bulk-service queues. The inter-arrival times of successive arrivals are assumed to be independent and geometrically distributed. The customers are served by a single-server in ...

This paper uses the imbedded-Markov-chain method to study bulk service queuing systems in which the server chooses the capacity and service mechanism depending on the number of customers waiting in line at the start of the service. It derives conditions ...
