Geo/G/1 queues with disasters and general repair times

This paper discusses discrete-time single server Geo/G/1 queues that are subject to failure due to a disaster arrival. Upon a disaster arrival, all present customers leave the system. At a failure epoch, the server is turned off and the repair period immediately begins. The repair times are commonly distributed random variables. We derive the probability generating functions of the queue length distribution and the FCFS sojourn time distribution. Finally, some numerical examples are given.     

Performance Analysis of the GI/M/1 Queue with Single Working Vacation and Vacations

In this paper, we consider a new class of the GI/M/1 queue with single working vacation and vacations. When the system become empty at the end of each regular service period, the server first enters a working vacation during which the server continues to serve the possible arriving customers with a slower rate, after that, the server may resume to the regular service rate if there are customers left in the system, or enter a vacation during which the server stops the service completely if the system is empty. Using matrix geometric solution method, we derive the stationary distribution of the system size at arrival epochs. The stochastic decompositions of system size and conditional system size given that the server is in the regular service period are also obtained. Moreover, using the method of semi-Markov process (SMP), we gain the stationary distribution of system size at arbitrary epochs. We acquire the waiting time and sojourn time of an arbitrary customer by the first-passage time analysis. Furthermore, we analyze the busy period by the theory of limiting theorem of alternative renewal process. Finally, some numerical results are presented.     

Queues with system disasters and impatient customers when system is down

Consider a system operating as an M/M/c queue, where c=1, 1<c<∞, or c=∞. The system as a whole suffers occasionally a disastrous breakdown, upon which all present customers (waiting and served) are cleared from the system and lost. A repair process then starts immediately. When the system is down, inoperative, and undergoing a repair process, new arrivals become impatient: each individual customer, upon arrival, activates a random-duration timer. If the timer expires before the system is repaired, the customer abandons the queue never to return. We analyze this model and derive various quality of service measures: mean sojourn time of a served customer; proportion of customers served; rate of lost customers due to disasters; and rate of abandonments due to impatience.      

The GI/M/1 queue with start-up period and single working vacation and Bernoulli vacation interruption

Consider a GI/M/1 queue with start-up period and single working vacation. When the system is in a closed state, an arriving customer leading to a start-up period, after the start-up period, the system becomes a normal service state. And during the working vacation period, if there are customers at a service completion instant, the vacation can be interrupted and the server will come back to the normal working level with probability p (0 ? p ? 1) or continue the vacation with probability 1 − p. Meanwhile, if there is no customer when a vacation ends, the system is closed. Using the matrix-analytic method, we obtain the steady-state distributions for the queue length at both arrival epochs and arbitrary epochs, the waiting time and sojourn time.     

BMAP/G/1 queue with correlated arrivals of customers and disasters

We consider a single server queue with disasters where the arrivals of customers and disasters are correlated. When a disaster occurs, it removes all the customers in the system and there requires repair time for the system to be operated normally. The stationary queue length distribution at the embedded points and at an arbitrary time are presented.     

Transient analysis of an M/G/1 retrial queue subject to disasters and server failures

An M/G/1 retrial queueing system with disasters and unreliable server is investigated in this paper. Primary customers arrive in the system according to a Poisson process, and they receive service immediately if the server is available upon their arrivals. Otherwise, they will enter a retrial orbit and try their luck after a random time interval. We assume the catastrophes occur following a Poisson stream, and if a catastrophe occurs, all customers in the system are deleted immediately and it also causes the server’s breakdown. Besides, the server has an exponential lifetime in addition to the catastrophe process. Whenever the server breaks down, it is sent for repair immediately. It is assumed that the service time and two kinds of repair time of the server are all arbitrarily distributed. By applying the supplementary variables method, we obtain the Laplace transforms of the transient solutions and also the steady-state solutions for both queueing measures and reliability quantities of interest. Finally, numerical inversion of Laplace transforms is carried out for the blocking probability of the system, and the effects of several system parameters on the blocking probability are illustrated by numerical inversion results.

Analysis of a GI/M/1 queue with multiple working vacations

Consider a GI/M/1 queue with vacations such that the server works with different rates rather than completely stops during a vacation period. We derive the steady-state distributions for the number of customers in the system both at arrival and arbitrary epochs, and for the sojourn time for an arbitrary customer.

Analysis of the GI/Geo/1 Queue with Disasters

The occurrence of disasters to a queueing system causes all customers to be removed if any are present. Although there has been much research on continuous-time queues with disasters, the discrete-time Geo/Geo/1 queue with disasters has appeared in the literature only recently. We extend this Geo/Geo/1 queue to the GI/Geo/1 queue. We present the probability generating function of the stationary queue length and sojourn time for the GI/Geo/1 queue. In addition, we convert our results into the Geo/Geo/1 queue and the GI/M/1 queue.

ANALYSIS OF M/G/1 STOCHASTIC CLEARING SYSTEMS

In this paper, we consider M/G/1 queuing systems governed by a stochastic clearing mechanism, called “disaster,” which removes all workload in the system whenever it occurs to the system. The clearing mechanism of disasters can be applied to computer systems in the presence of a virus as a clearing operation of all stored messages present in the system. We present the system size distribution and the sojourn time distribution.     

Analysis of a Discrete-Time Finite-Capacity Single-Server Queue with Markovian-Arrival Process and Random-Bulk-Service: D-MAP/G Y /1/M

In this article, we consider a single-server, finite-capacity queue with random bulk service rule where customers arrive according to a discrete-time Markovian arrival process (D-MAP). The model is denoted by D-MAP/G ^Y /1/M where server capacity (bulk size for service) is determined by a random variable Y at the starting point of services. A simple analysis of this model is given using the embedded Markov chain technique and the concept of the mean sojourn time of the phase of underlying Markov chain of D-MAP. A complete solution to the distribution of the number of customers in the D-MAP/G ^Y /1/M queue, some computational results, and performance measures such as the average number of customers in the queue and the loss probability are presented.     

The BMAP/PH/N retrial queue with Markovian flow of breakdowns

We consider a multi-server retrial queue with the Batch Markovian Arrival Process (BMAP). The servers are identical and independent of each other. The service time distribution of a customer by a server is of the phase (PH) type. If a group of primary calls meets idle servers the primary calls occupy the corresponding number of servers. If the number of idle servers is insufficient the rest of calls go to the orbit of unlimited size and repeat their attempts to get service after exponential amount of time independently of each other. Busy servers are subject to breakdowns and repairs. The common flow of breakdowns is the MAP. An event of this flow causes a failure of any busy server with equal probability. When a server fails the repair period starts immediately. This period has PH type distribution and does not depend on the repair time of other broken-down servers and the service time of customers occupying the working servers. A customer whose service was interrupted goes to the orbit with some probability and leaves the system with the supplementary probability. We derive the ergodicity condition and calculate the stationary distribution and the main performance characteristics of the system. Illustrative numerical examples are presented.

The discrete time Geom/Geom/1 queue with multiple working vacations

In this paper, we study a discrete time Geom/Geom/1 queue with multiple working vacations. Using the quasi birth and death chain and matrix-geometric solution method, we give distributions for the number of customers in system and the waiting time of a customer and their stochastic decomposition structures, and obtain distributions of the additional number of customers and additional delay. Furthermore, we derive the formulae of expected regular busy period and expected busy cycle. Finally, by numerical examples, we analyze the effect of the parameters on the expected queue length and sojourn time.     

Sojourn times in a processor sharing queue with service interruptions

We study the sojourn times of customers in an M/M/1 queue with the processor sharing service discipline and a server that is subject to breakdowns. The lengths of the breakdowns have a general distribution, whereas the on-periods are exponentially distributed. A branching process approach leads to a decomposition of the sojourn time, in which the components are independent of each other and can be investigated separately. We derive the Laplace–Stieltjes transform of the sojourn-time distribution in steady state, and show that the expected sojourn time is not proportional to the service requirement. In the heavy-traffic limit, the sojourn time conditioned on the service requirement and scaled by the traffic load is shown to be exponentially distributed. The results can be used for the performance analysis of elastic traffic in communication networks, in particular, the ABR service class in ATM networks, and best-effort services in IP networks.     

Cycle analysis of a two-phase queueing model with threshold

We consider a single-server, two-phase queueing system with N-policy. Customers arrive at the system according to a Poisson process and receive batch service in the first phase followed by individual services in the second phase. If the system becomes empty at the moment of the completion of the second-phase services, it is turned off. After an idle period, when the queue length reaches N (threshold), the server is turned on and begins to serve customers. We obtain the system size distribution and show that the system size decomposes into three random variables. The system sojourn time is provided. Analysis for the gated batch service model is also provided. Finally we derive a condition under which the optimal operating policy is achieved.
