AN M/G/1 RETRIAL QUEUE WITH GENERAL RETRIAL TIMES, WORKING VACATIONS AND VACATION INTERRUPTION

We consider an M/G/1 retrial queue with general retrial times, and introduce working vacations and vacation interruption policy into the retrial queue. During the working vacation period, customers can be served at a lower rate. If there are customers in the system at a service completion instant, the vacation will be interrupted and the server will come back to the normal working level. Using supplementary variable method, we obtain the stationary probability distribution and some performance measures. Furthermore, we carry out the waiting time distribution and prove the conditional stochastic decomposition for the queue length in orbit. Finally, some numerical examples are presented.

M/M/1 Retrial Queue with Working Vacation Interruption and Feedback under N-Policy

We consider an M/M/1 retrial queue with working vacations, vacation interruption, Bernoulli feedback, and N-policy simultaneously. During the working vacation period, customers can be served at a lower rate. Using the matrix-analytic method, we get the necessary and sufficient condition for the system to be stable. Furthermore, the stationary probability distribution and some performance measures are also derived. Moreover, we prove the conditional stochastic decomposition for the queue length in the orbit. Finally, we present some numerical examples and use the parabolic method to search the optimum value of service rate in working vacation period.

An M/M/2 Queueing System with Heterogeneous Servers Including One with Working Vacation

This paper analyzes an M/M/2 queueing system with two heterogeneous servers, one of which is always available but the other goes on vacation in the absence of customers waiting for service. The vacationing server, however, returns to serve at a low rate as an arrival finds the other server busy. The system is analyzed in the steady state using matrix geometric method. Busy period of the system is analyzed and mean waiting time in the stationary regime computed. Conditional stochastic decomposition of stationary queue length is obtained. An illustrative example is also provided.
