Abstract

Some approximate results for infinite capacity storage systems in which the input rate follows a birth and death process are given in this paper. In particular, an immigration-emigration process and an Ehrenfest process are considered. The almost-null-recurrent content distribution is derived when the demand rate is constant. Further, an approximation for the content distribution during a period of excessive over-supply is obtained for the cases of constant demand and demand proportional to the content.
