Abstract

We consider the Mk /M/∞ queue with k heterogeneous customers in a batch where the customer of type i in a batch requires an exponential service time with parameter µi. In steady state, the joint generating function of the number of customers of type i being served in the system is derived explicitly by solving a partial differential equation.
