Transient Behavior of a Queueing Model with Hyper-Exponentially Distributed Processing Times and Finite Buffer Capacity.

In the paper, a finite-capacity queueing model is considered in which jobs arrive according to a Poisson process and are being served according to hyper-exponential service times. A system of equations for the time-sensitive queue-size distribution is established by applying the paradigm of embedded Markov chain and total probability law. The solution of the corresponding system written for Laplace transforms is obtained via an algebraic approach in a compact form. Numerical illustration results are attached as well.
