Nonhomogeneous Poisson Processes In many situations, the arrival rate or service rate is determined by a Poisson process whose parameter varies as a function of time. For example, if the arrival rate ...

Figure 9.12: Markov-Modulated Poisson Arrivals Figure 9.12 shows one way to model an MMPP. The process labeled "Markov-modulated Poisson Process" samples from an MMPP distribution and sets the value ...
