Abstract

We consider an M/G/1 queue where the arrival and service processes are modulated by a two state Markov chain. We assume that the arrival rate, service time density and the rates at which the Markov chain switches its state, are functions of the total unfinished work (buffer content) in the queue. We compute asymptotic approximations to performance measures such as the mean residual busy period, mean length of a busy period, and the mean time to reach capacity.
