Abstract

The M/G/1 queue with batch arrivals and a queueing discipline which is a generalization of processor sharing is studied by means of Crump–Mode–Jagers branching processes. A number of theorems are proved, including investigation of heavy traffic and overloaded queues. Most of the results obtained are also new for the M/G/1 queue with processor sharing. By use of a limiting procedure we also derive new results concerning M/G/1 queues with shortest residual processing time discipline.
