Abstract: In classical studies of loss systems with restricted availability, the utilization was suggested of a probabilistic loss function, defining the conditional probability of an incoming call being rejected, as a function of the number of occupations in the destination group of servers. This paper gives an exact analysis of stochastic processes of practical relevance, associated with a system with MMPP (Markov Modulated Poisson Process) input, finite queueing capacity and a general loss function, assuming exponential service times. In addition to the process defining the state of the system at any instant, the analysis of the overflow point process (associated with the rejected arriving customers), the accepted point process (associated with the accepted arriving customers), and of the departure process will be presented. Together with the exact analysis of this system, based on the matrix analytical methodology of Neuts, (1981), we will derive expressions for calculating some key‐parameters of pertinent associated processes, which may also be used for their approximate modelling. Also, examples of applications and of blocking probability calculations in specific models of this class will be presented.
