Logarithmic Asymptotics for Steady-State Tail Probabilities in a Single- Server Queue
Abstract
We consider the standard single-server queue with unlimited waiting space and the first-out service discipline. We find conditions for the steady- state waiting-time distribution to have small-tail asymptotics of a certain form. We require only stationarity of the basic sequence of service times minus interarrival times and a Gartner-Ellis condition for the cumulant generating function of the associated partial sums.
