Delay analysis for a finite buffer TDMA model

This paper provides an efficient solution for the derivation of the delay distribution for a TDMA system with a finite buffer. Assuming successive intervals of length equal to the duration of a slot, the density is expressed as (finite) linear combinations of gamma densities and beta densities with positive coefficients. The results are verified by simulations. Comparison with a previously proposed solution demonstrates that the solution presented here is more efficient.
