Vacation time queues with Markovian arrival process (MAP) are mainly useful in modeling and performance analysis of telecommunication networks based on asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) environment. This paper analyzes a single-server finite capacity queue wherein service is performed in batches of maximum size “b” with a minimum threshold “a” and arrivals are governed by MAP. The server takes a single vacation when he finds less than “a” customers after service completion. The distributions of buffer contents at various epochs (service completion, vacation termination, departure, arbitrary and pre-arrival) have been obtained. Finally, some performance measures such as loss probability and average queue length are discussed. Numerical results are also presented in some cases.

We consider a single server infinite capacity queueing system, where the arrival process is a batch Markovian arrival process (BMAP). Particular BMAPs are the batch Poisson arrival process, the Markovian arrival process (MAP), many batch arrival processes with correlated interarrival times and batch sizes, and superpositions of these processes. We note that the MAP includes phase-type (PH) renewal processes and non-renewal processes such as the Markov modulated Poisson process (MMPP).The server applies Kella's vacation scheme, i.e., a vacation policy where the decision of whether to take a new vacation or not, when the system is empty, depends on the number of vacations already taken in the current inactive phase. This exhaustive service discipline includes the single vacation T-policy, T(SV), and the multiple vacation T-policy, T(MV). The service times are i.i.d. random variables, independent of the interarrival times and the vacation durations. Some important performance measures such as the distribution functions and means of the virtual and the actual waiting times are given. Finally, a numerical example is presented.

In this paper, we consider a finite capacity single server queueing model with two buffers, A and B, of sizes K and N respectively. Messages arrive one at a time according to a Markovian arrival process. Messages that arrive at buffer A are of a different type from the messages that arrive at buffer B. Messages are processed according to the following rules: 1. When buffer A(B) has a message and buffer B(A) is empty, then one message from A(B) is processed by the server. 2. When both buffers, A and B, have messages, then two messages, one from A and one from B, are processed simultaneously by the server. The service times are assumed to be exponentially distributed with parameters that may depend on the type of service. This queueing model is studied as a Markov process with a large state space and efficient algorithmic procedures for computing various system performance measures are given. Some numerical examples are discussed.

We consider a system of N finite-capacity queues attended by a single server in cyclic order. For each visit by the server to a queue, the service is given continuously until that queue becomes empty (exhaustive service), given continuously only to those customers present at the visiting instant (gated service), or given to only a single customer (limited service). The server then switches to the next queue with a random switchover time, and administers the same type of service there similarly. For such a system where each queue has a Poisson arrival process, general service time distribution, and finite capacity, we find the distribution of the waiting time at each queue by utilizing the known results for a single M/G/1/K queue with multiple vacations.

The use of priorities allows us to improve the quality of service of inhomogeneous customers in telecommunication networks, inventory and health-care systems. An important modern direction of research is to analyze systems in which priority of a customer can be changed during his/her stay in the system. We considered a single-server queuing system with a finite buffer, where two types of customers arrive according to a batch marked Markov arrival process. Type 1 customers have non-preemptive priority over type 2 customers. Low priority customers are able to receive high priority after the random amount of time. For each non-priority customer accepted into the buffer, a timer, which counts a random time having a phase type distribution, is switched-on. When the timer expires, the customer with some probability leaves the system unserved and with the complimentary probability gains the high priority. Such a type of queues is typical in many health-care systems, contact centers, perishable inventory, etc. We describe the behavior of the system by a multi-dimensional continuous-time Markov chain and calculate a number of the stationary performance measures of the system including the various loss probabilities as well as the distribution function of the waiting time of priority customers. The illustrative numerical examples giving insights into the system behavior are presented.
