A discrete-time Geo/G/1 retrial queue with J-vacation policy and general retrial times

The authors discuss a discrete-time Geo/G/1 retrial queue with J-vacation policy and general retrial times. As soon as the orbit is empty, the server takes a vacation. However, the server is allowed to take a maximum number J of vacations, if the system remains empty after the end of a vacation. If there is at least one customer in the orbit at the end of a vacation, the server begins to serve the new arrivals or the arriving customers from the orbit. For this model, the authors focus on the steady-state analysis for the considered queueing system. Firstly, the authors obtain the generating functions of the number of customers in the orbit and in the system. Then, the authors obtain the closed-form expressions of some performance measures of the system and also give a stochastic decomposition result for the system size. Besides, the relationship between this discrete-time model and the corresponding continuous-time model is also investigated. Finally, some numerical results are provided.     

Analysis of batch arrival queue with randomized vacation policy and an un-reliable server

This paper examines an M^[x]G/1 queueing system with an unreliable server and a delayed repair,in which the server operates a randomized vacation policy with multiple vacations.Whenever the system is empty,the server immediately takes a vacation.If there is at least one customer found waiting in the queue upon returning from a vacation,the server will be immediately activated for service.Otherwise,if no customers are waiting for service at the end of a vacation,the server either remains idle with probability p or leaves for another vacation with probability 1-p.Whenever one or more customers arrive when the server is idle,the server immediately starts providing service for the arrivals.The server may also meet an unpredictable breakdown and the repair may be delayed.For such a system the authors derive the distributions of some important system characteristics,such as the system size distribution at a random epoch and at a departure epoch,the system size distribution at the busy period initiation epoch,and the distribution of the idle period and the busy period.The authors perform a numerical analysis for changes in the system characteristics,along with changes in specific values of the system parameters.A cost effectiveness maximization model is constructed to explain the benefits of such a queueing system.     

Optimal control of an M/G/1 retrial queue with vacations

In this note, we consider an M/G/1 retrial queue with server vacations, when retrial times, service times and vacation times are arbitrary distributed. The distribution of the number of customers in the system in stationary regime is obtained in terms of generating function. Next, we give heavy traffic approximation of such distribution. We show that the system size can be decomposed into two random variables, one of which corresponds to the system size of the ordinary M/G/1 FIFO queue without vacation. Such a stochastic decomposition property is useful for the computation of performance measures of interest. Finally, we solve simple problems of optimal control of vacation and retrial policies.

The M/M/1 queue with working vacations and vacation interruptions

In this paper, we study the M/M/1 queue with working vacations and vacation interruptions. The working vacation is introduced recently, during which the server can still provide service on the original ongoing work at a lower rate. Meanwhile, we introduce a new policy：, the server can come back from the vacation to the normal working level once some indices of the system, such as the number of customers, achieve a certain value in the vacation period. The server may come back from the vacation without completing the vacation. Such policy is called vacation interruption. We connect the above mentioned two policies and assume that if there are customers in the system after a service completion during the vacation period, the server will come back to the normal working level. In terms of the quasi birth and death process and matrix-geometric solution method, we obtain the distributions and the stochastic decomposition structures for the number of customers and the waiting time and provide some indices of systems.

Analysis of a discrete-time GI/Geo/1/N queue with multiple working vacations

This paper analyzes a finite-buffer renewal input single server discrete-time queueing system with multiple working vacations. The server works at a different rate rather than completely stopping working during the multiple working vacations. The service times during a service period, service time during a vacation period and vacation times are geometrically distributed. The queue is analyzed using the supplementary variable and the imbedded Markov-chain techniques. We obtain steady-state system length distributions at pre-arrival, arbitrary and outside observer’s observation epochs. The analysis of actual waiting-time distribution and some performance measures are carried out. We present some numerical results and discuss special cases of the model.

The M/PH/1 queue with working vacations and vacation interruption

We study an M/PH/1 queue with phase type working vacation and vacation interruption where the vacation time follows a phase type distribution. The server serves the customers at a lower rate in a vacation period. The server comes back to the regular busy period at a service completion without completing the vacation. Such policy is called vacation interruption. In terms of quasi birth and death process and matrix-geometric solution method, we obtain the stationary queue length distribution. Moreover we obtain the conditional stochastic decomposition structures of queue length and waiting time when the service time distribution in the regular busy period is exponential.

N-策略与Min(N,V)-策略的M/G/1/∞排队系统等待时间的随机分解结构

在一些关于N-策略休假的M/G/1/∞排队模型研究中,由于顾客的等待时间与该顾客到达时刻以后的输入间隔时间不再独立,因此对顾客的稳态等待时间分布的讨论较为困难,更多是集中在系统的稳态队长和附加队长的讨论上,很少有文献讨论顾客的稳态等待时间及其随机分解.本文首先考虑经典N-策略休假的M/G/1/∞排队系统,讨论了顾客的稳态等待时间分布,给出了顾客的稳态等待时间的随机分解结果和顾客的附加延迟时间分布的显式表达式,同时,指出了已有结果的错误.其次,我们考虑在多重休假和单重休假下具有Min(N,V)-策略控制的M/G/1/∞排队系统,给出了顾客的稳态等待时间的随机分解结果,获得了顾客的平均稳态等待时间和平均附加延迟时间表达式.特别地,通过本文可直接获得一些特殊排队系统的相应结果.     

ANALYSIS AND COMPUTATIONAL ALGORITHM FOR QUEUES WITH STATE-DEPENDENT VACATIONS II： M（n）/G/1/K

We study a single-server queueing system with state-dependent arrivals and general service distribution, or simply M（n）/G/1/K, where the server follows an N policy and takes multiple vacations when the system is empty. We provide a recursive algorithm using the supplementary variable technique to numerically compute the stationary queue length distribution of the system. The only input requirements are the Laplace-Stieltjes transforms of the service time distribution and the vacation time distribution, and the state-dependent arrival rate. The computational complexity of the algorithm is O（K^3）.     

Waiting Time of M/M/c/N Queuing System with Balking,Reneging, and Multiple Synchronous Vacations of Partial Servers

The policy of synchronous vacations of partial servers is considered in an multi-server queuing system with balking and reneging. Some fixed partial idle servers take synchronous multiple vacations when these servers become idle at an instant that a customer leaves the system. In this article, by considering the two cases that the partial servers are on vacation and not on vacation, the distributions of the conditional waiting time for customers who join the system when all the available servers are busy and eventually acquire service are obtained. Based on these, the distribution of the conditional waiting time of customers given that they join the system when all available servers are busy and eventually acquire service is derived.     

ANALYSIS AND COMPUTATIONAL ALGORITHM FOR QUEUES WITH STATE-DEPENDENT VACATIONS I： G/M（n）/1/K

In this paper we study a queueing system with state-dependent services and state-dependent vacations, or simply G/M（n）/1/K. Since the service rate is state-dependent, this system includes G/M/c and G/M/c/K queues with various types of station vacations as special cases. We provide a recursive algorithm using the supplementary variable technique to numerically compute the stationary queue length distribution of the system. The only input requirement is the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the interarrival distribution as well as the state-dependent service rate and state-dependent vacation rate. In a subsequent companion paper, we study its dual system M（n）/G/1/K queue with statedependent vacations.

Queue Size Distribution of Geo/G/1 Queue Under the Min(N,D)-Policy

This paper considers a discrete-time Geo/G/1 queue under the Min(N,D)-policy in which the idle server resumes its service if either N customers accumulate in the system or the total backlog of the service times of the waiting customers exceeds D,whichever occurs first(Min(N,D)-policy).By using renewal process theory and total probability decomposition technique,the authors study the transient and equilibrium properties of the queue length from the beginning of the arbitrary initial state,and obtain both the recursive expression of the z-transformation of the transient queue length distribution and the recursive formula for calculating the steady state queue length at arbitrary time epoch n~+.Meanwhile,the authors obtain the explicit expressions of the additional queue length distribution.Furthermore,the important relations between the steady state queue length distributions at different time epochs n~-,n and n~+ are also reported.Finally,the authors give numerical examples to illustrate the effect of system parameters on the steady state queue length distribution,and also show from numerical results that the expressions of the steady state queue length distribution is important in the system capacity design.     

The Structure of Departure Process and Optimal Control Strategy N~* for Geo/G/1 Discrete-Time Queue with Multiple Server Vacations and Min(N,V)-Policy

This paper considers the departure process and the optimal control strategy for a discretetime Geo/G/1 queueing model in which the system operates under the control of multiple server vacations and Min(N, V)-policy. Using the law of total probability decomposition, the renewal theory and the probability generating function technique, the transient and the steady-state probabilities that the server is busy at any epoch n~+ are derived. The authors also obtain the explicit expression of the probability generating function for the expected number of departures occurring in the time interval (0~+, n~+] from any initial state. Meanwhile, the relationship among departure process, server's state process and service renewal process in server busy period is found, which shows the special structure of departure process. Especially, some corresponding results of departure process for special discrete-time queues are directly gained by our results. Furthermore, the approximate expansion for calculating the expected number of departures is presented. In addition, some other important performance measures,including the expected length of server busy period, server's actual vacation period and busy cycle period etc., are analyzed. Finally, some numerical results are provided to determine the optimum value N*for minimizing the system cost under a given cost structure.
