In this paper, algorithms are derived that permit the exact evaluation of the steady state waiting and system time probabilities, for two different priority custome types, in a discrete time, batch arrival queueing system, which has infinite waiting space. All customers have integer, but non-zero, service times that are generally distributed. Both preemptive and non-preemptive scheduling is considered. Numerical results are presented indicating how these algorithms can be used to study certain problems arising in future telecommunications networks.
