The continuous-time MIGI1 queue with vacations has been studied by many researchers. In the paper the authors report on an investigation of the discrete-time M/G/l queue using Little's formula and conditional expectation. This direct approach can also be adopted to study the continuous-time case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
