This work considers a queueing system with N-policy and unreliable server, where potential customers arrive at the system according to Poisson process. If there is no customer waiting in the system, instead of shutting down, the server turns into dormant state and does not afford service until the number of customers is accumulated to a certain threshold. And in the working state, the server is apt to breakdown and affords service again only after it is repaired. According to whether the server state is observable or not, the numerical optimal arrival rates are computed to maximize the social welfare and throughput of the system. The results illustrate their tendency in two cases so that the manager has a strong ability to decide which is more crucial in making management decision.

In this article, we generalize results by Dimitrov and Khalil (1990), Khalil et al. (1991), and van Harn and Steutel (1991) and obtain some characterizations of the exponential and geometric laws.

The characterization of the exponential distribution via the coefficient of the variation of the blocking time in a queueing system with an unreliable server, as given by Lin (1993), is improved by substantially weakening the conditions. Based on the coefficient of variation of certain random variables, including the blocking time, the normal service time and the minimum of the normal service and the server failure times, two new characterizations of the exponential distribution are obtained.
