In this paper we study the asymptotic relationship between the loss ratio in a finite buffer system and the overflow probability (the tail of the queue length distribution) in the corresponding infinite buffer system. We model the system by a fluid queue which consists of a server with constant rate c and a fluid input. We provide asymptotic upper and lower bounds on the difference between log P{Q > x} and logP L (x) under different conditions. The conditions for the upper bound are simple and are satisfied by a very large class of input processes. The conditions on the lower bound are more complex but we show that various classes of processes such as Markov modulated and ARMA type Gaussian input processes satisfy them.

In this paper, we study Markov fluid queues where the net fluid rate to a single-buffer system varies with respect to the state of an underlying continuous-time Markov chain. We present a novel algorithmic approach to solve numerically for the steady-state solution of such queues. Using this approach, both infinite- and finite-buffer cases are studied. We show that the solution of the infinite-buffer case is reduced to the solution of a generalized spectral divide-and-conquer (SDC) problem applied on a certain matrix pencil. Moreover, this SDC problem does not require the individual computation of any eigenvalues and eigenvectors. Via the solution for the SDC problem, a matrix-exponential representation for the steady-state queue-length distribution is obtained. The finite-buffer case, on the other hand, requires a similar but different decomposition, the so-called additive decomposition (AD). Using the AD, we obtain a modified matrix-exponential representation for the steady-state queue-length distribution. The proposed approach for the finite-buffer case is shown not to have the numerical stability problems reported in the literature.

We consider a two-node Jackson network in which the buffer of node 1 is truncated. Our interest is in the limit of the tail decay rate of the queue-length distribution of node 2 when the buffer size of node 1 goes to infinity, provided that the stability condition of the unlimited network is satisfied. We show that there can be three different cases for the limit. This generalizes some recent results obtained for the tandem Jackson network. Special cases and some numerical examples are also presented.

Queueing systems are studied with a last-come, first-served queueing discipline and batch arrivals generated by a finite number of non-exponential sources. A closed-form expression is derived for the steady-state queue length distribution. This expression has a scaled geometric form and is insensitive to the input distribution. Moreover, an algorithm for the recursive computation of the normalizing constant and the busy source distribution is presented. The results are of both practical and theoretical interest as an extension of the standard Poisson batch input case.

Batch Markovian Arrival Process – BMAP – is a teletraffic model which combines high ability to imitate complexstatistical behaviour of network traces with relative simplicity in analysis and simulation. It is also a generalization of a wide class of Markovian processes, a class which in particular include the Poisson process, the compound Poisson process, the Markovmodulated Poisson process, the phase-type renewal process and others. In this paper we study the main queueing performance characteristic of a finite-buffer queue fed by the BMAP, namely the queue length distribution. In particular, we show a formula for the Laplace transform of the queue length distribution. The main benefit of this formula is that it may be used to obtain both transient and stationary characteristics. To demonstrate this, several numerical results are presented.

We consider a finite buffer GI/M(n)/1 queue with multiple working vacations and changeover time, where the server can keep on working but at a slower speed during the vacation period. Moreover, the amount of service demanded by a customer is conditioned by the queue length at the moment service is begun for that customer. We provide a recursive algorithm using the supplementary variable technique to numerically compute the stationary queue length distribution of the system. Finally, some numerical results of the model are presented to show the parameter effect on various performance measures.
