Abstract:

The present investigation deals with the bulk arrival M/G/1 retrial queue with impatient customers and modified vacation policy. The incoming customers join the virtual pool of customers called orbit if they find the server being busy, on vacation or in broken down state otherwise the service of the customer at the head of the batch is started by the server. The service is provided in k essential phases to all the customers by the single server which may breakdown while rendering service to the customers. The broken down server is sent to a repair facility wherein the repair is performed in d compulsory phases. As soon as the orbit becomes empty, the server goes for vacation and takes at most J vacations until at least one customer is noticed. The incoming customers are impatient and may renege on seeing a long queue of the customers for the service. The probability generating functions and queue length for the number of customers in the orbit and queue have been obtained using supplementary variable technique. Various system characteristics viz. average number of customers in the queue and the orbit, long run probabilities of the system states, etc. are obtained. Furthermore, numerical simulation has been carried out to study the sensitivity of various parameters on the system performance measures by taking an illustration.

Bernoulli Vacation Policy for a Bulk Retrial Queue with Fuzzy Parameters

In this paper, we investigate the fuzzy logic based system characteristics of MX/G/1 retrial queuing system with Bernoulli vacation schedule. The service time and vacation time are assumed to be generally distributed. It is found in many practical situations that the queuing models with fuzzy parameters are much more realistic than the classical crisp parameters based queuing models. We have...

Stability of Retrial Queues with Versatile Retrial Policy

We consider in this paper the stability of retrial queues with a versatile retrial policy. We obtain sufficient conditions for the stability by the strong coupling convergence to a stationary ergodic regime for various models of retrial queues including a model with two types of customers, a model with breakdowns of the server, a model with negative customers, and a model with batch arrivals. F...

Admission Control of Bulk Retrial Queue under Bernoulli Vacation Schedule

This paper examines the Bernoulli admission control policy for the two phase bulk arrival retrial queueing system wherein the customers has the option either to take second phase of service or to leave the system after completing first essential phase of service. In addition, the arrival rate of the customers depends upon the server status. After the service completion of each individual custom...

An Unreliable Server Retrial Queue with Two Phases of Service and General Retrial Times Under Bernoulli Vacation Schedule

Abstract: This paper deals with the steady state behavior of an M/G/1 retrial queue with two successive phases of service and general retrial times under Bernoulli vacation schedule for an unreliable server. While the server is working with any phase of service, it may breakdown at any instant and the service channel will fail for a short interval of time. The primary customers finding the serv...
