On the nonstationary Erlang loss model

Automation and Remote Control volume 70, pages 2003–2012 (2009)Cite this article

Abstract

Nonstationary loss queueing system (Erlang model) is considered. We study weak ergodicity, bounds on the rate of convergence, approximations, bounds for limit characteristics.
