Analysis of finite-buffer multi-server queues with group arrivals: GI(X)/M/c/N

In this paper, we analyse a multi-server queue with bulk arrivals and finit e-buffer space. The interarrival and service times are arbitrarily and expo nentially distributed, respectively. The model is discussed with partial an d total batch rejections and the distributions of the numbers of customers in the system at prearrival and arbitrary epochs are obtained. In addition, blocking probabilities and waiting time analyses of the first, an arbitrar y and the last customer of a batch are discussed. Finally, some numerical r esults are presented.
