The Steady-State Queueing Time Distribution for the <i>M</i>/<i>G</i>/1 Finite Capacity Queue

We derive an expression for the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the steady-state distribution of the queueing time for the M/G/1 finite capacity queue. The derivation proceeds in terms of a related 2-stage closed cyclic queueing network. The resulting expression is a rational function of the steady-state probabilities of the imbedded Markov chain at departure epochs and of the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the service time distribution. The expression can be differentiated readily in order to obtain moments of the steady-state queueing time and some numerical results for the mean and coefficient of variation are presented.
