Analysis of the discrete-time SMP/D/1/s finite buffer queue with applications in ATM

An exact analysis of the discrete-time single-server SMP/D/1/s queue with an arbitrary semi-Markov input process and a buffer size s is presented. The SSMP/D/1/s queue and the DMAP/D/1/s queue re covered in this model. The analysis yields easy expressions for the queue length density at arrivals (loss probability) and the waiting time density. This queuing system is suitable for modeling correlated input streams of asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks involving batches. Calculations show the influence of correlation on both loss probability and waiting time.<<ETX>>
