In this paper, we consider a finite-buffer bulk-arrival queue with interarrival and service times distributed as arbitrarily and Erlang-k, respectively. A complete analysis of this model including the relations among the state probabilities at various epochs, waiting time analysis and performance measures are presented. Furthermore, the analysis is carried out for both partially and totally batch rejected models.
