We consider a single-server Markovian queue with synchronized services and setup times. The customers arrive according to a Poisson process and are served simultaneously. The service times are independent and exponentially distributed. At a service completion epoch, every customer remains satisfied with probability p (independently of the others) and departs from the system; otherwise, he stays for a new service. Moreover, the server takes multiple vacations whenever the system is empty.Some of the transition rates of the underlying two-dimensional Markov chain involve binomial coefficients dependent on the number of customers. Indeed, at each service completion epoch, the number of customers n is reduced according to a binomial (n, p) distribution. We show that the model can be efficiently studied using the framework of q-hypergeometric series and we carry out an extensive analysis including the stationary, the busy period, and the sojourn time distributions. Exact formulas and numerical results show the effect of the level of synchronization to the performance of such systems.

In the study of the busy period for a single server queueing system, three variables that have been investigated individually or at most in pairs are:1.The duration of the busy period.2.The number of customers served during the busy period.3.The maximum number of customers in the queue during the busy period.

We consider an M/M/2 queueing system with removable service stations operating under steady-state conditions. We assume that the number of operating service stations can be adjusted at customers' arrival or service completion epochs depending on the number of customers in the system. The objective of this paper is to obtain the distribution of the busy period using the theory of the gambler's ruin problem. As special cases, the distributions of the busy periods for the ordinary M/M/2 queueing system, the M/M/1 queueing system operating under the N policy and the ordinary M/M/1 queueing system are obtained.

We consider a single server Markovian queue with two types of customers; positive and negative, where positive customers arrive in batches and arrivals of negative customers remove positive customers in batches. Only positive customers form a queue and negative customers just reduce the system congestion by removing positive ones upon their arrivals. We derive the LSTs of sojourn time distributions for a single server Markovian queue with positive customers and negative customers by using the first passage time arguments for Markov chains.

In this paper we investigate the server's busy period in a single-server queueing situation in which the interarrival interval T preceding the arrival of a customer and his service time S are assumed correlated. A closed-form expression is obtained for the Laplace transform bn(z) of the joint probability and probability density function of the busy period duration and the number of customers served in it. Some numerical values are given showing the effect of correlation between T and S.

A flexible single-server queueing system is considered in this paper. The server adapts to the system size by using a strategy where the service provided can be either single or bulk depending on some threshold level c. If the number of customers in the system is less than c, then the server provides service to one customer at a time. If the number of customers in the system is greater than or equal to c, then the server provides service to a group of c customers. The service times are exponential and the service rates of single and bulk service are different. While providing service to either a single or a group of customers, the server may break down and goes through a repair phase. The breakdowns follow a Poisson distribution and the breakdown rates during single and bulk service are different. Also, repair times are exponential and repair rates during single and bulk service are different. The probability generating function and linear operator approaches are used to derive the system size steady-state probabilities.

In this paper we analyze a discrete-time queueing system where the server decides whento upgrade the service depending on the information carried by the incoming message. We carry outan extensive analysis of the system developing recursive formulae and generating functions for thestationary distribution of the number of customers in the queue, the system, the busy period and thesojourntimeas well as some numerical examples.

A queueing system with exponential service and correlated arrivals is analysed. Each interarrival time is exponentially distributed. The parameter of the interarrival time distribution depends on the parameter for the preceding arrival, according to a Markov chain. The parameters of the interarrival time distributions are chosen to be equal to a common value plus a factor ofε, where ε is a small number. Successive arrivals are then weakly correlated. The stability condition is found and it is shown that the system has a stationary probability vector of matrix-geometric form. Furthermore, it is shown that the stationary probabilities for the number of customers in the system, are analytic functions ofε, for sufficiently smallε, and depend more on the variability in the interarrival time distribution, than on the correlations.
