THE TELETRAFFIC ANALYSIS OF THE MULTISERVER LOSS MODEL WITH RENEWAL DISTRIBUTIONS

This paper presents a loss model in which a general renewal arrival st ream is served by any number of general renewal servers, i.e., the GI/ GI/s/s model. Using linear algebraic queueing theory (LAQT), we provid e the exact steady-state solution of the number of customers in the GI /GI/s/s model at general, arrival, and departure times. We show that t he steady-state solution at arrival times can be used to approximate t hose at general times and that the third moment of the arrival process significantly affects this approximation. Finally, we show that a con jectured inequality does not hold.
