Abstract

This paper examines steady-state queuing systems, focusing on hyper-exponential and hyper-Poisson queues. Explicit queue length probabilities, waiting time distributions, and related metrics are derived using an imbedded Markov chain technique for M|HE₂|1, HE₂|M|1, and M|HEₙ|1 systems. The analysis addresses stochastic service rates with multi-point distributions, providing solutions for busy period distributions in specific queuing models. A cubic equation for the Laplace transform of the busy period distribution is also presented, offering a detailed approach to understanding queue dynamics and performance metrics.
