In this paper, under the assumption that the unencumbered service time is exponentially distributed, a novel algebraic set of general equations that examines the relationships between cell dwell time (CDT) and residual cell dwell time as well as between cell dwell time and channel holding time (CHT) are derived. This work includes relevant new analytical results and insights into the dependence of CHT characteristics on the CDT distribution. For instance, it is found that when CDT is Coxian or hyper-exponentially distributed, CHT is also Coxian or hyper-exponentially distributed, respectively.
