Practical approximations for finite-buffer queueing models with batch arrivals (Q1120200)

For the \(G^ X/G/1/N\) queue (with general batch size distribution) two rejection strategies are considered: If a whole batch cannot completely enter the buffer it is either rejected totally or the buffer is filled and the residual batch is lost. Using exact solutions for special cases of the model, approximations for rejection probabilities and waiting time quantities are proposed.
