Abstract

We represent the classical Engset-loss model by the stochastic process counting the number of customers in the system. A fluid limit for this process is established for a ll the possible values of the various parameters of the system, as the number of servers tends to infinity along with the number of sources. Our results are derived through a semi-martingale decomposition method. A numerical application is provided to illustrate these results. Then, we represent a finite-source retrial queue considering in addition the number of sources in orbit. Finally, we extend the fluid limit results to a retrial queueing system, discussing different cases.
