We consider a single-server constant retrial queueing system with a Poisson arrival process and exponential service and retrial times, in which the server may break down when it is working. The lifetime of the server is assumed to be exponentially distributed and once the server breaks down, it will be sent for repair immediately and the repair time is also exponentially distributed. There is no waiting space in front of the server and arriving customers decide whether to enter the retrial orbit or to balk depending on the available information they get upon arrival. In the paper, Nash equilibrium analysis for customers’ joining strategies as well as the related social and profit maximization problems is investigated. We consider separately the partially observable case where an arriving customer knows the state of the server but does not observe the exact number of customers waiting for service and the fully observable case where customer gets informed not only about the state of the server but also about the exact number of customers in the orbit. Some numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effect of the information levels and several parameters on the customers’ equilibrium and optimal strategies.

We consider a single-server retrial queueing system where retrial time is inversely proportional to the number of customers in the system. A necessary and sufficient condition for the stability of the system is found. We obtain the Laplace transform of virtual waiting time and busy period. The transient distribution of the number of customers in the system is also obtained.

This chapter is concerned with the analysis of a single server retrial queue with two types of service, Bernoulli vacation and feedback. The server provides two types of service i.e., type 1 service with probability??1 and type 2 service with probability ??2. We assume that the arriving customer who finds the server busy upon arrival leaves the service area and are queued in the orbit in accordance with an FCFS discipline and repeats its request for service after some random time. After completion of type 1 or type 2 service the unsatisfied customer can feedback and joins the tail of the retrial queue with probability f or else may depart from the system with probability 1–f. Further the server takes vacation under Bernoulli schedule mechanism, i.e., after each service completion the server takes a vacation with probability q or with probability p waits to serve the next customer. For this queueing model, the steady state distributions of the server state and the number of customers in the orbit are obtained using supplementary variable technique. Finally the average number of customers in the system and average number of customers in the orbit are also obtained.

In the paper, we consider a multi-server retrial queueing system with setup time which is motivated by applications in power-saving data centers with the ON-OFF policy, where an idle server is immediately turned off and an off server is set up upon arrival of a customer. Customers that find all the servers busy join the orbit and retry for service after an exponentially distributed time. For this model, we derive the stability condition which depends on the setup time and turns out to be more strict than that of the corresponding model with an infinite buffer which is independent of the setup time. We propose asymptotic methods to analyze the system under the condition that the delay in the orbit is extremely long. We show that the scaled-number of customers in the orbit converges to a diffusion process. Using this diffusion limit, we obtain approximations for the steady-state probability distribution of the number of busy servers and that of the number of customers in the orbit. We verify the accuracy of the approximations by simulations and numerical analysis. Numerical results show that the retrial system under the limiting condition consumes more energy than that with an infinite buffer in front of the servers.

We consider a single-server discrete queueing system in which arrivals occur according to a Markovian arrival process. Service is provided in groups of size no more than M customers. The service times are assumed to follow a discrete phase type distribution, whose representation may depend on the group size. Under a probabilistic service rule, which depends on the number of customers waiting in the queue, this system is studied as a Markov process. This type of queueing system is encountered in the operations of an automatic storage retrieval system. The steady-state probability vector is shown to be of (modified) matrix-geometric type. Efficient algorithmic procedures for the computation of the rate matrix, steady-state probability vector, and some important system performance measures are developed. The steady-state waiting time distribution is derived explicitly. Some numerical examples are presented.

A multiserver queueing system, the dynamics of which depends on the state of some external continuous-time Markov chain (random environment, RE), is considered. Change of the state of the RE may cause variation of the parameters of the arrival process, the service process, the number of available servers, and the available buffer capacity, as well as the behavior of customers. Evolution of the system states is described by the multidimensional continuous-time Markov chain. The generator of this Markov chain is derived. The ergodicity condition is presented. Expressions for the key performance measures are given. Numerical results illustrating the behavior of the system and showing possibility of formulation and solution of optimization problems are provided. The importance of the account of correlation in the arrival processes is numerically illustrated.

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

We consider a finite-buffer single server queueing system with queue-length dependent vacations where arrivals occur according to a batch Markovian arrival process (BMAP). The service discipline is P-limited service, also called E-limited with limit variation (ELV) where the server serves until either the system is emptied or a randomly chosen limit of L customers has been served. Depending on the number of customers present in the system, the server will monitor his vacation times. Queue-length distributions at various epochs such as before, arrival, arbitrary and after, departure have been obtained. Several other service disciplines like Bernoulli scheduling, nonexhaustive service, and E-limited service can be treated as special cases of the P-limited service. Finally, the total expected cost function per unit time is considered to determine locally optimal values N* of N or a maximum limit L^* of L^ as the number of customers served during a service period at a minimum cost.

In the paper, a single-server retrial queueing system with MMPP arrivals and an exponential law of the service time is studied. Unserviced calls go to an orbit and stay there during random time distributed exponentially, they access to the server according to a random multiple access protocol. In the system, a Poisson process of negative calls arrives, which delete servicing positive calls. The method of the asymptotic analysis under the heavy load condition for the system studying is proposed. It is proved that the asymptotic characteristic function of a number of calls on the orbit has the gamma distribution with the obtained parameters. The value of the system capacity is obtained, so, the condition of the system stationary mode is found. The results of a numerical comparison of the asymptotic distribution and the distribution obtained by simulation are presented. Conclusions about the method applicability area are made.

Abstract A novel customer batch service discipline for a single server queue is introduced and analyzed. Service to customers is offered in batches of a certain size. If the number of customers in the system at the service completion moment is less than this size, the server does not start the next service until the number of customers in the system reaches this size or a random limitation of the idle time of the server expires, whichever occurs first. Customers arrive according to a Markovian arrival process. An individual customer’s service time has a phase-type distribution. The service time of a batch is defined as the maximum of the individual service times of the customers which form the batch. The dynamics of such a system are described by a multi-dimensional Markov chain. An ergodicity condition for this Markov chain is derived, a stationary probability distribution of the states is computed, and formulas for the main performance measures of the system are provided. The Laplace–Stieltjes transform of the waiting time is obtained. Results are numerically illustrated.
