Abstract

This paper studies the behavior of a discrete queueing system which accepts synchronized arrivals and provides synchronized services. The number of arrivals occurring at an arriving point may follow any arbitrary discrete distribution possessing finite first moment and convergent probability generating function in ¦ z ¦ ⩽ 1 + ɛ with ɛ > 0. The system is equipped with an infinite buffer and one or more servers operating in synchronous mode. Service discipline may or may not be prioritized. Results such as the probability generating function of queue occupancy, average queue length, system throughput, and delay are derived in this paper. The validity of the results is also verified by computer simulations.
