Abstract

We consider the GI/M/1 – K queue which has a capacity of K customers. Using singular perturbation methods, we construct asymptotic approximations to the stationary queue length distribution. We assume that K is large and treat several different parameter regimes. Extensive numerical comparisons are used to show the quality of the proposed approximations.
