Abstract

A finite-buffer queueing system with Poisson arrivals and generally distributed service times is considered. Every time when the system empties, a single vacation is initialized, during which the service process is blocked. A system of integral equations for the transient distributions of the virtual waiting time v(t) at a fixed moment t, conditioned by the numbers of packets present in the system at the opening, is derived. A compact formula for the 2-fold Laplace transform of the conditional distribution of v(t) is found and written down using a special-type sequence called a potential. From this representation the stationary distribution of v(t) as t→∞ and its mean can be easily obtained. Theoretical results are illustrated by numerical examples as well.
