Title: Occupation times for the finite buffer fluid queue with phase-type ON-times,
Abstract: In this short communication we study a fluid queue with a finite buffer. The
performance measure we are interested in is the occupation time over a finite
time period, i.e., the fraction of time the workload process is below some
fixed target level. We construct an alternating sequence of sojourn times
$D_1,U_1,...$ where the pairs $(D_i,U_i)_{i\in\mathbb{N}}$ are i.i.d. random
vectors. We use this sequence to determine the distribution function of the
occupation time in terms of its double transform.
