Abstract

We say that a queue is in heavy traffic if the traffic intensity p is very close to unity. Heavy traffic studies of M/G/1 and G/G/1 are fairly well known when the arrival and service time distributions are continuous. The behavior of discrete time queues in heavy traffic which seems to have not been treated earlier, is the subject of this report.
