A “correlated queue” is defined to be a queueing model in which the arrival pattern influences the service pattern or vice versa. A particular model of this nature is considered in this paper. It is such that the service time of a customer is directly proportional to the interval between his own arrival and that of his predecessor. The initial busy period, state and output processes are analyzed in detail. For completeness, a sketch is also given of the analysis of the waiting time process which forms the subject of another paper. The results are used in the analysis of the state and output processes.

In a previous paper (Dagsvik (1975)) the waiting time process of the single server bulk queue is considered and a corresponding waiting time equation is established. In this paper the waiting time equation is solved when the inter-arrival or service time distribution is a linear combination of Erlang distributions. The analysis is essentially based on algebraic arguments.

Let X(t) be the virtual waiting-time process of a stable M/G/1 queue. Let R(t) be the covariance function of the stationary process X(t), B(t) the busy-period distribution of X(t); and let E(t) = P{X(t) = 0|X(0) = 0}. For X(t) some heavy-traffic results are given, among which are limiting expressions for R(t) and its derivatives and for B(t) and E(t). These results are used to find the covariance function of stationary Brownian motion on [0, ∞).

The virtual waiting time process, W(t), in the M/G/1 queue is investigated under the condition that the initial busy period terminates but has not done so by time n ≥ t. It is demonstrated that, as n → ∞, W(t), suitably scaled and normed, converges to the unsigned Brownian excursion process or a modification of that process depending whether ρ ≠ 1 or ρ = 1, where ρ is the traffic intensity.

By using properties of up- and downcrossings of the sample functions of the workload process and of the attained waiting-time process for a G/G/1 queueing model, a direct proof of a theorem proved by Sakasegawa and Wolff is given.

Sengupta (1989) showed that, for the first-come–first-served (FCFS) G/G/1 queue, the workload and attained waiting time of a customer in service have the same stationary distribution. Sakasegawa and Wolff (1990) derived a sample path version of this result, showing that the empirical distribution of the workload values over a busy period of a given sample path is identical to that of the attained waiting time values over the same period. For a given sample path of an FCFS G/G/s queue, we construct a dual sample path of a dual queue which is FCFS G/G/s in reverse time. It is shown that the workload process on the original sample path is identical to the total attained waiting time process on the dual sample path. As an application of this duality relation, we show that, for a time-stationary FCFS M/M/s/k queue, the workload process is equal in distribution to the time-reversed total attained waiting time process.

In [1] the authors dealt with a particular queueing system in which arrivals occurred in a Poisson stream and the probability differential of a service completion was μσn when the queue contained n customers. Much of the theory could not be carried out further analytically for a general σn, which is a purely n-dependent quantity. To carry the analysis further to the extent of finding the “effective” service time and the waiting time distribution when σn is a linear function of n, (which is considered to be rather general and sufficient for practical purposes), constitutes the subject matter of this paper.
