In this article, we consider the two-node fork-join model with a Poisson arrival process and exponential service times of heterogeneous service rates. Using a mapping from the queue lengths in the parallel nodes to the join queue length, we first derive the probability distribution function of the join queue length in terms of joint probabilities in the parallel nodes and then study the exact tail asymptotics of the join queue length distribution. Although the asymptotics of the joint distribution of the queue lengths in the parallel nodes have three types of characterizations, our results show that the asymptotics of the join queue length distribution are characterized by two scenarios: (1) an exact geometric decay and (2) a geometric decay with the prefactor n−1/2.

AbstractWe treat a single-server vacation queue with queue-length dependent vacation schedules. This subsumes the single-server vacation queue with exhaustive service discipline and the vacation queue with Bernoulli schedule as special cases. The lengths of vacation times depend on the number of customers in the system at the beginning of a vacation. The arrival process is a batch-Markovian arrival process (BMAP). We derive the queue-length distribution at departure epochs. By using a semi-Markov process technique, we obtain the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the transient queue-length distribution at an arbitrary time point and its limiting distribution

For the delayed Bernoulli feedback queue with first come–first served discipline under weak assumptions a relationship for the generating functions of the joint queue-length distribution at various points in time is given. A decomposition for the generating function of the stationary total queue length distribution has been proven. The Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the stationary joint workload distribution function is represented by its marginal distributions. The arrival process is Poisson, renewal or arbitrary stationary, respectively. The service times can form an i.i.d. sequence at each queue. Different kinds of product form of the generating function of the joint queue-length distribution are discussed.

Batch Markovian Arrival Process – BMAP – is a teletraffic model which combines high ability to imitate complexstatistical behaviour of network traces with relative simplicity in analysis and simulation. It is also a generalization of a wide class of Markovian processes, a class which in particular include the Poisson process, the compound Poisson process, the Markovmodulated Poisson process, the phase-type renewal process and others. In this paper we study the main queueing performance characteristic of a finite-buffer queue fed by the BMAP, namely the queue length distribution. In particular, we show a formula for the Laplace transform of the queue length distribution. The main benefit of this formula is that it may be used to obtain both transient and stationary characteristics. To demonstrate this, several numerical results are presented.

Shanthikumar and Sumita (1986) proved that the stationary system queue length distribution just after a departure instant is geometric forGI/GI/1 with LCFS-P/H service discipline and with a constant acceptance probability of an arriving customer, where P denotes preemptive and H is a restarting policy which may depend on the history of preemption. They also got interesting relationships among characteristics. We generalize those results forG/G/1 with an arbitrary restarting LCFS-P and with an arbitrary acceptance policy. Several corollaries are obtained. Fakinos' (1987) and Yamazaki's (1990) expressions for the system queue length distribution are extended. For a Poisson arrival case, we extend the well-known insensitivity for LCFS-P/resume, and discuss the stationary distribution for LCFS-P/repeat.

The asymptotic behaviour of the M/G/2 queue is studied. The difference-differential equations for the joint distribution of the number of customers present and of the remaining holding times for services in progress were obtained in Hokstad (1978a) (for M/G/m). In the present paper it is found that the general solution of these equations involves an arbitrary function. In order to decide which of the possible solutions is the answer to the queueing problem one has to consider the singularities of the Laplace transforms involved. When the service time has a rational Laplace transform, a method of obtaining the queue length distribution is outlined. For a couple of examples the explicit form of the generating function of the queue length is obtained.

Consider the single server queue in which the system capacity is infinite and the customers are served on a first come, first served basis. Suppose the probability density functionf(t)and the cumulative distribution functionF(t)of the interarrival time are such that the ratef(t)/1-F(t)tends to a constant ast→∞, and the rate computed from the distribution of the service time tends to another constant. When the queue is in a stationary state, we derive a set of equations for the probabilities of the queue length and the states of the arrival and service processes. Solving the equations, we obtain approximate results for the stationary probabilities which can be used to obtain the stationary queue length distribution and waiting time distribution of a customer who arrives when the queue is in the stationary state.
