Abstract

A numerical solution is presented for obtaining the buffer statistics of a G/G/1 queue. The moment generating function GM(z) of the number of blocks buffered at the completion of a service is assumed to be known via the Pollaczek Khinchine formula. Only finite number of arrivals during a service time are allowed. To compute the buffer statistics, poles of the denominator polynomial of GM(z) and the residue at each pole are evaluated. The procedure is very efficient and stable; the computational complexity grows slowly as the order of the polynomial increases.
