Abstract

This paper considers heavy-traffic limit theorems for polling models with periodic server routing with general renewal arrivals and mixtures of gated and exhaustive service policies. We provide a strong conjecture for the limiting waiting-time distribution in a general parameter setting when the load tends to 1, under proper heavy-traffic scalings.
