The attained waiting time of customers in service of the G/G/1 queue is compared for various work-conserving service disciplines. It is proved that the attained waiting time distribution is minimized (maximized) in convex order when the discipline is FCFS (PR-LCFS). We apply the result to characterize finiteness of moments of the attained waiting time in the GI/GI/1 queue with an arbitrary work-conserving service discipline. In this discussion, some interesting relationships are obtained for a PR-LCFS queue.

Waiting Time Distribution

This paper deals with a batch arrival infinite-buffer single server queue. The interbatch arrival times are generally distributed and arrivals are occurring in batches of random size. The service process is correlated and its structure is presented through a continuous-time Markovian service process (C-MSP). We obtain the probability density function (p.d.f.) of actual waiting time for the first and an arbitrary customer of an arrival batch. The proposed analysis is based on the roots of the characteristic equations involved in the Laplace-Stieltjes transform (LST) of waiting times in the system for the first, an arbitrary, and the last customer of an arrival batch. The corresponding mean sojourn times in the system may be obtained using these probability density functions or the above LSTs. Numerical results for some variants of the interbatch arrival distribution (Pareto and phase-type) have been presented to show the influence of model parameters on the waiting-time distribution. Finally, a simple computational procedure (through solving a set of simultaneous linear equations) is proposed to obtain the “R” matrix of the corresponding GI/M/1-type Markov chain embedded at a prearrival epoch of a batch.

Special Cases

This paper studies a single server queue with finite waiting room where the server takes vacations according to two different strategies: (i) an exhaustive service discipline, where the server takes a vacation whenever the system becomes empty and these vacations are repeated as long as there are no customers in the system upon return from a vacation, i.e. a repeated vacation strategy; (ii) a limited service discipline, where the server begins a vacation either if K customers have been served in the same busy period or if the system is empty and then a repeated vacation strategy is followed. The input process is a general Markovian arrival process introduced by Lucantoni, Meier-Hellstern and Neuts, which as special cases includes the Markov modulated Poisson process and the phase-type renewal process. The service times and vacation times each are generally distributed random variables. For both models, we obtain the queue length distribution at departures, at an arbitrary time instant and at arrival time. We also derive the loss probability of an arriving customer. We obtain formulae for the LST of the virtual waiting time distribution and for the LST of the waiting time distribution at arrival epochs.

Poisson Arrivals

This paper considers a single-server queue with Poisson arrivals and multiple customer feedbacks. If the first service attempt of a newly arriving customer is not successful, he returns to the end of the queue for another service attempt, with a different service time distribution. He keeps trying in this manner (as an ‘old' customer) until his service is successful. The server operates according to the ‘gated vacation' strategy; when it returns from a vacation to find K (new and old) customers, it renders a single service attempt to each of them and takes another vacation, etc. We study the joint queue length process of new and old customers, as well as the waiting time distribution of customers. Some extensions are also discussed.

Extremal Properties

In this paper, the extremal properties of the ergodic sojourn times in G/G/1queues under various service disciplines are studied in terms of the convex ordering. It is shown that among work-conserving non-preemptive service disciplines that are service time independent, the FIFO and the LIFO service disciplines provide the minima and the maxima, respectively, of the ergodic sojourn times for any G/G/1 queue. For G/M/1 queues, this class of work-conserving service disciplines is extended to include preemptive/resume disciplines. In this case the FIFO and LIFO-P (preemptive/resume LIFO) service disciplines attain the minima and maxima, respectively. These extend results of Durr (1971), Kingman (1962) and a recent result of Ramaswami (1984). Further results are obtained for G/Em/1 and G/D/1 queues.

Fitting In

Various elegant properties have been found for the waiting time distribution G for the queue GI/G/1 in statistical equilibrium, such as infinite divisibility ((1), p. 282) and that of having an exponential tail ((11), (2), p. 411, (1), p. 324). Here we derive another property which holds quite generally, provided the traffic intensity ρ < 1, and which is extremely simple, fitting in with the above results as well as yielding some useful properties in the form of upper and lower stochastic bounds for G which augment the bounds obtained by Kingman (5), (6), (8) and by Ross (10).
