  • Abstract
    In this paper, we consider 2 definitions of light traffic: 1) rescaling the interarrival times, and 2) thinning the arrival process. We derive the MacLaurin series of the mean waiting time E[W] in light traffic for a GI/G/1 queue using each definition. Also, we show that the MacLaurin series have a positive radius of convergence
