Gated Infinite Server Queues in Light Traffic

Abstract

We consider $M/G/\infty$ queues with gated service and obtain results on the distribution of the stage length and the number of customers served in a stage when the system is stationary. The stage length density is expressed as an infinite series of terms, involving the solution of an infinite system of linear equations. The convergence of a sequence of solutions arising from truncations of the infinite system is established in the light traffic case. Analogous results are established for a similar $GI/M/\infty$ gated system.
