**3.2.2 Idling periodic server**

When the idling periodic server Davis & Burns (2005) is replenished and none of its tasks are ready, then it idles its budget away until either a proper task arrives or the budget depletes. An idling periodic server follows the state transition diagram in Figure 1, however, due to its idling nature it will never reach the waiting state (and can therefore be regarded as created in ready state).
