Abstract

In this paper we investigate the server's busy period in a single-server queueing situation in which the interarrival interval T preceding the arrival of a customer and his service time S are assumed correlated. A closed-form expression is obtained for the Laplace transform bn(z) of the joint probability and probability density function of the busy period duration and the number of customers served in it. Some numerical values are given showing the effect of correlation between T and S.
