A BMAP/G/1 Retrial Queue with a Server Subject to Breakdowns and Repairs

In this paper, we consider a BMAP/G/1 retrial queue with a server subject to breakdowns and repairs, where the life time of the server is exponential and the repair time is general. We use the supplementary variable method, which combines with the matrix-analytic method and the censoring technique, to study the system. We apply the RG-factorization of a level-dependent continuous-time Markov ch...

Homogeneous Finite-source Retrial Queues with Server Subject to Breakdowns and Repairs

This paper deals with a retrial queueing system with a finite number of homogeneous sources of calls and a single non-reliable server, which means that the server is subject to random breakdowns depending on whether it is busy or idle. The failure of the server may block or unblock the systems’s operations and the service of the interrupted request may be resumed or the call can be transmitted ...

Reliability Analysis of the Retrial Queue with Server Breakdowns and Repairs

Retrial queues have been widely used to model many problems arising in telephone switching systems, telecommunication networks, computer networks and computer systems, etc. It is of basic importance to study reliability of retrial queues with server breakdowns and repairs because of limited ability of repairs and heavy influence of the breakdowns on the performance measure of the system. Howeve...
