Multiserver queue with semi-Markovian batch arrivals

We consider a queueing system with a single server having a mixture of a semi-Markov process (SMP) and a Poisson process as the arrival process, where each SMP arrival contains a batch of customers. The service times are exponentially distributed. We derive the distributions of the queue length of both SMP and Poisson customers when the sojourn time distributions of the SMP have rational Laplace–Stieltjes transforms. We prove that the number of unknown constants contained in the generating function for the queue length distribution equals the number of zeros of the denominator of this generating function in the case where the sojourn times of the SMP follow exponential distributions. The linear independence of the equations generated by those zeros is discussed for the same case with additional assumption. The necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of the system is also analyzed. The distributions of the waiting times of both SMP and Poisson customers are derived. The results are applied to the case in which the SMP arrivals correspond to the exact sequence of Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) frames. Poisson arrivals are regarded as interfering traffic. In the numerical examples, the mean and variance of the waiting time of the ATM cells generated from the MPEG frames of real video data are evaluated.
