Abstract

Busy period problems in infinite server queues are studied systematically, starting from the batch service time. General relations are given for the lengths of the busy cycle, busy period and idle period, and for the number of customers served in a busy period. These relations show that the idle period is the most difficult while the busy cycle is the simplest of the four random variables. Renewal arguments are used to derive explicit results for both general and special cases.
