| Abstract: | In this paper, we analyse a multi-server queue with bulk arrivals and finite-buffer space. The interarrival and service times
are arbitrarily and exponentially distributed, respectively. The model is discussed with partial and total batch rejections
and the distributions of the numbers of customers in the system at prearrival and arbitrary epochs are obtained. In addition,
blocking probabilities and waiting time analyses of the first, an arbitrary and the last customer of a batch are discussed.
Finally, some numerical results are presented.
