Abstract: The paper aims at busy period analysis of non-Markovian queuing system GI/G/1 starting initially with i₀ customers, through lattice path approach. Both interarrival and service time distributions are approximated by two-phase Cox distributions, C₂, that have Markovian property, amenable to the application of lattice paths combinatorial analysis. Distributions having rational Laplace–Stieltjes transform and square coefficient of variation lying in [1/2∞) form a very wide class of distributions. As any distribution of this class can be approximated by C₂, therefore, the use of C₂ has led us to achieve results applicable to almost any real life queuing system GI/G/1 occurring in computer systems, communication systems, manufacturing systems, etc. Numerical computations have been performed for different sets of values of the parameters involved using software package Mathematica and represented graphically.
