Abstract:

We consider a bulk arrival, bulk service queueing system. Customers are served in batches of r units if the queue length is not less than r . Otherwise, the server delays the service until the number of units in the queue reaches or exceeds level r . We assume that unserved customers may get impatient and leave the system. An ergodicity condition and steady-state probabilities are derived. Various system characteristics are also computed.
