abstract = {We consider a discrete single-server
queueing/communication system, in which the arrival distribution is changing
stochastically with time. The distribution of the number of messages to arrive
within a time slot depends on a traffic activity process of modes. This process
of modes is a two-state Markov chain: mode 0 and mode 1, which represent light
and heavy traffic conditions, respectively. The transition probabilities of this
Markov chain [herein called mode duration parameters (MDP's)] determine the
distribution of the duration of time the process stays in each mode. Expressions
