This paper is concerned with a discrete-timeGeo/G/1retrial queueing model withJvacations and two types of breakdowns. If the orbit is empty, the server takes at mostJvacations repeatedly until at least one customer appears in the orbit upon returning from a vacation. It is assumed that the server is subject to two types of different breakdowns and is sent immediately for repair. We analyze the Markov chain underlying the considered queueing system and derive the system state distribution as well as the orbit size and the system size distributions in terms of their generating functions. Then, we obtain some performance measures through the generating functions. Moreover, the stochastic decomposition property and the corresponding continuous-time queueing system are investigated. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effect of vacations and breakdowns on several performance measures of the system.

An M/G/1 retrial queueing system with two phases of service of which the second phase is optional and the server operating under Bernoulli vacation schedule is investigated. Further, the customer is allowed to balk upon arrival if he finds the server unavailable to serve his request immediately. The joint generating functions of orbit size and server status are derived using supplementary variable technique. Some important performance measures like the orbit size, the system size, the server utilisation and the probability that the system is empty are found. Stochastic decomposition law is established when there is no balking permitted. Some existing results are derived as special cases of our model under study. Interestingly, these performance measures are compared for various vacation schedules namely exhaustive service, 1-limited service, Bernoulli vacation and modified Bernoulli vacation schedules. Extensive numerical analysis is carried out to exhibit the effect of the system parameters on the performance measures.

This paper deals with the steady-state behavior of a discrete-time unreliableGeo/G/1retrial queueing system with balking customers and second optional service. The server may break down randomly while serving the customers. If the server breaks down, the server is sent to be repaired immediately. We analyze the Markov chain underlying the considered system and its ergodicity condition. Then, we obtain some performance measures based on the generating functions. Moreover, a stochastic decomposition result of the system size is investigated. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effect of some parameters on main performance measures of the system.

This paper discusses a discrete-time Geo/G/1 retrial queue with the server subject to breakdowns and repairs. The customer just being served before server breakdown completes his remaining service when the server is fixed. The server lifetimes are assumed to be geometrical and the server repair times are arbitrarily distributed. We study the Markov chain underlying the considered queueing system and present its stability condition as well as some performance measures of the system in steady-state. Then, we derive a stochastic decomposition law and as an application we give bounds for the proximity between the steady-state distributions of our system and the corresponding system without retrials. Also, we introduce the concept of generalized service time and develop a recursive procedure to obtain the steady-state distributions of the orbit and system size. Finally, we prove the convergence to the continuous-time counterpart and show some numerical results.

We consider an Mx /G/1 queueing system with N-policy and multiple vacations. As soon as the system empties, the server leaves for a vacation of random length V. When he returns, if the queue length is greater than or equal to a predetermined value N(threshold), the server immediately begins to serve the customers. If he finds less than N customers, he leaves for another vacation and so on until he finally finds at least N customers. We obtain the system size distribution and show that the system size decomposes into three random variables one of which is the system size of ordinary Mx /G/1 queue. The interpretation of the other random variables will be provided. We also derive the queue waiting time distribution and other performance measures. Finally we derive a condition under which the optimal stationary operating policy is achieved under a linear cost structure.

AbstractWe consider anM/M/2 queueing system with two-heterogeneous servers and multiple vacations. Customers arrive according to a Poisson process. However, customers become impatient when the system is on vacation. We obtain explicit expressions for the time dependent probabilities, mean and variance of the system size at timetby employing probability generating functions, continued fractions and properties of the modified Bessel functions. Finally, two special cases are provided.

In this investigation, a novel sort of retrial queueing system with working breakdown services is introduced. Two distinct kinds of customers are considered, which are priority and ordinary customers. The normal busy server may become inadequate due to catastrophes at any time which cause the major server to fail. At a failure moment, the major server is sent to be fixed and the server functions at a lower speed (called the working breakdown period) during the repair period. The probability generating functions (PGF) of the system size is found using the concepts of the supplementary variable technique (SVT). The impact of parameters in system performance measures and cost optimization are examined numerically.

We analyze a discrete-timeGeo/G/1 retrial queue with two different types of vacations and general retrial times. Two different types of vacation policies are investigated in this model, one of which is nonexhaustive urgent vacation during serving and the other is normal exhaustive vacation. For this model, we give the steady-state analysis for the considered queueing system. Firstly, we obtain the generating functions of the number of customers in our model. Then, we obtain the closed-form expressions of some performance measures and also give a stochastic decomposition result for the system size. Moreover, the relationship between this discrete-time model and the corresponding continuous-time model is also investigated. Finally, some numerical results are provided to illustrate the effect of nonexhaustive urgent vacation on some performance characteristics of the system.

We consider a single server Markovian feedback queue with variant of multiple vacation policy, balking, server's states-dependent reneging, and retention of reneged customers. We obtain the steady-state solution of the considered queue based on the use of probability generating functions. Then, the closed-form expressions of different system characteristics are derived. Finally, we present some numerical results in order to show the impact of the parameters of impatience timers on the performance measures of the system.

This paper analyzes customers’ impatience in Markovian queueing system with multiple working vacations and Bernoulli schedule vacation interruption, where customers’ impatience is due to the servers’ vacation. During the working vacation period, if there are customers in the queue, the vacation can be interrupted at a service completion instant and the server begins a regular busy period with probability 1-q or continues the vacation with probability q. We obtain the probability generating functions of the stationary state probabilities and deduce the explicit expressions of the system sizes when the server is in a normal service period and in a Bernoulli schedule vacation interruption, respectively. Various performance measures such as the mean system size, the proportion of customers served, the rate of abandonment due to impatience, and the mean sojourn time of a customer served are derived. We obtain the stochastic decomposition structures of the queue length and waiting time. Finally, some numerical results to show the impact of model parameters on performance measures of the system are presented.
