Equilibrium Mixed Strategies in a Discrete-Time Markovian Queue Under Multiple and Single Vacation Policies

چکیده
Abstract: We study the Nash equilibrium behavior of customers in a discrete-time single-server queue under multiple vacation policy or single vacation policy. Every arriving customer either joins the queue or balks based on his or her service utility. Using a Quasi-Birth-Death Processes (QBD) model, we obtain the stationary distribution of the queue length via the Matrix-Geometric Solution method. We analyze the equilibrium mixed threshold strategies under two different vacation policies. By presenting numerical examples, we examine the impacts of system parameters on the equilibrium customer behavior and compare the single and multiple vacation policies in terms of the social welfare.

Discrete-time single-server finite-buffer queues under discrete Markovian arrival process with vacations
This paper treats a discrete-time single-server finite-buffer exhaustive (singleand multiple-) vacation queueing system with discrete-time Markovian arrival process (D-MAP). The service and vacation times are generally distributed random variables and their durations are integral multiples of a slot duration. We obtain the queue-length distributions at departure, service completion, vacation te...
متن کاملComplete Analysis of Map/g/1/n Queue with Single (multiple) Vacation(s) under Limited Service Discipline
We consider a finite-buffer single-server queue with Markovian arrival process (MAP) where the server serves a limited number of customers, and when the limit is reached it goes on vacation. Both singleand multiple-vacation policies are analyzed and the queue length distributions at various epochs, such as pre-arrival, arbitrary, departure, have been obtained. The effect of certain model parame...
متن کاملANALYSIS OF A DISCRETE-TIME IMPATIENT CUSTOMER QUEUE WITH BERNOULLI-SCHEDULE VACATION INTERRUPTION
This paper investigates a discrete-time impatient customer queue with Bernoulli-schedule vacation interruption. The vacation times and the service times during regular busy period and during working vacation period are assumed to follow geometric distribution. We obtain the steady-state probabilities at arbitrary and outside observer's observation epochs using recursive technique. Cost analysi...

This paper analyzes a discrete-time $Geo/Geo/c$ queueing system with multiple working vacations and reneging in which customers arrive according to a geometric process. As soon as the system gets empty, the servers go to a working vacations all together. The service times during regular busy period, working vacation period and vacation times are assumed to be geometrically distributed. Customer...
متن کاملAnalyzing discrete-time D-BMAP/G/1/N queue with single and multiple vacations
This paper analyzes a single-server finite-buffer vacation (single and multiple) queue wherein the input process follows a discrete-time batch Markovian arrival process (D-BMAP). The service and vacation times are generally distributed and their durations are integral multiples of a slot duration. We obtain the state probabilities at service completion, vacation termination, arbitrary, and prea...
