Abstract

This paper proposes a simple factorization principle that can be used efficiently and effectively to derive the vector generating function of the queue length at an arbitrary time of the BMAP/G/1/ queueing systems under variable service speed. We first prove the factorization property. Then we provide moments formula. Lastly we present some applications of the factorization principle.
