Time-dependent solution and optimal control of a bulk service queue
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 July 2016
Abstract
We consider the queueing system denoted by M/MN/1/N where customers are served in batches of maximum size N. The model is motivated by a traffic application. The time-dependent probability distribution for the number of customers in the system is obtained in closed form. The solution is used to predict the optimal service rates during a finite time horizon.
