Abstract

For the Ek/G/1 queue with finite waiting room the phase technique is used to analyse the Markov chain imbedded in the queueing process at successive instants at which customers complete service, and the distribution of the busy period, together with the number of customers who arrive, and the number of customers served, during that period, is obtained. The limit as the size of the waiting room becomes infinite is found.
