Abstract

Discrete-time queues are frequently used in telecommunication networks. This paper proposes a new method which is based only on probabilistic arguments. It derives the distributions of numbers of customers in the discrete-time systems Geom/G/1 and Geom/G/1/M. Though the derivation does not involve use of the transforms, the transforms may be obtained, if desired. Another advantage of this is that the numerical results obtained are stable as there are no negative signs involved in summations. Further, the method can be easily used to solve more complex problems in discrete- and continuous-time queues.
