Performance analysis of GI/M/1 queue with working vacations and vacation interruption

In this paper, we analyze a single-server vacation queue with a general arrival process. Two policies, working vacation and vacation interruption, are connected to model some practical problems. The GI/M/1 queue with such two policies is described and by the matrix analysis method, we obtain various performance measures such as mean queue length and waiting time. Finally, using some numerical examples, we present the parameter effect on the performance measures and establish the cost and profit functions to analyze the optimal service rate η during the vacation period.     

Performance analysis approximation in a queueing system of type M/G/1

In this work, we apply the strong stability method to obtain an estimate for the proximity of the performance measures in the M/G/1 queueing system to the same performance measures in the M/M/1 system under the assumption that the distributions of the service time are close and the arrival flows coincide. In addition to the proof of the stability fact for the perturbed M/M/1 queueing system, we obtain the inequalities of the stability. These results give with precision the error, on the queue size stationary distribution, due to the approximation. For this, we elaborate from the obtained theoretical results, the STR-STAB algorithm which we execute for a determined queueing system: M/Coxian − 2/1. The accuracy of the approach is evaluated by comparison with simulation results.     

Analysis of an SPP/G/1 system with multiple vacations and E-limited service discipline

Many researchers have studied variants of queueing systems with vacations. Most of them have dealt with M/G/1 systems and have explicitly analyzed some of their performance measures, such as queue length, waiting time, and so on. Recently, studies on queueing systems whose arrival processes are not Poissonian have appeared. We consider a single server queueing system with multiple vacations and E-limited service discipline, where messages arrive to the system according to a switched Poisson process. First, we consider the joint probability density functions of the queue length and the elapsed service time or the elapsed vacation time. We derive the equations for these pdf's, which include a finite number of unknown values. Using Rouché's theorem, we determine the values from boundary conditions. Finally, we derive the transform of the stationary queue length distribution explicitly.     

Analyzing <Emphasis Type="Italic">M/M/</Emphasis>1 Queues with Perturbations in the Arrival Process

This paper investigates when the M/M/1 model can be used to predict accurately the operating characteristics of queues with arrival processes that are slightly different from the Poisson process assumed in the model. The arrival processes considered here are perturbed Poisson processes. The perturbations are deviations from the exponential distribution of the inter-arrival times or from the assumption of independence between successive inter-arrival times. An estimate is derived for the difference between the expected numbers in perturbed and M/M/1 queueing systems with the same traffic intensity. The results, for example, indicate that the M/M/1 model can predict the performance of the queue when the arrival process is perturbed by inserting a few short inter-arrival times, an occasional batch arrival or small dependencies between successive inter-arrival times. In contrast, the M/M/1 is not a good model when the arrival process is perturbed by inserting a few long inter-arrival times.

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.

A Markov-modulated M/G/1 queue II: Busy period and time for buffer overflow

We consider an M/G/1 queue where the arrival and service processes are modulated by a two state Markov chain. We assume that the arrival rate, service time density and the rates at which the Markov chain switches its state, are functions of the total unfinished work (buffer content) in the queue. We compute asymptotic approximations to performance measures such as the mean residual busy period, mean length of a busy period, and the mean time to reach capacity.This research was supported in part by NSF Grants DMS-84-06110, DMS-85-01535 and DMS-86-20267, and grants from the U.S. Israel Binational Science Foundation and the Israel Academy of Sciences.     

The Periodic BMAP/PH/c Queue

In queueing theory, most models are based on time-homogeneous arrival processes and service time distributions. However, in communication networks arrival rates and/or the service capacity usually vary periodically in time. In order to reflect this property accurately, one needs to examine periodic rather than homogeneous queues. In the present paper, the periodic BMAP/PH/c queue is analyzed. This queue has a periodic BMAP arrival process, which is defined in this paper, and phase-type service time distributions. As a Markovian queue, it can be analysed like an (inhomogeneous) Markov jump process. The transient distribution is derived by solving the Kolmogorov forward equations. Furthermore, a stability condition in terms of arrival and service rates is proven and for the case of stability, the asymptotic distribution is given explicitly. This turns out to be a periodic family of probability distributions. It is sketched how to analyze the periodic BMAP/M _t /c queue with periodically varying service rates by the same method.     

BMAP/G/1/N queue with vacations and limited service discipline

We consider a finite buffer single server queue with batch Markovian arrival process (BMAP), where server serves a limited number of customer before going for vacation(s). Single as well as multiple vacation policies are analyzed along with two possible rejection strategies: partial batch rejection and total batch rejection. We obtain queue length distributions at various epochs and some important performance measures. The Laplace–Stieltjes transforms of the actual waiting time of the first customer and an arbitrary customer in an accepted batch have also been obtained.     

M/G/1 queue with event-dependent arrival rates

Motivated by experiments on customers’ behavior in service systems, we consider a queueing model with event-dependent arrival rates. Customers’ arrival rates depend on the last event, which may either be a service departure or an arrival. We derive explicitly the performance measures and analyze the impact of the event-dependency. In particular, we show that this queueing model, in which a service completion generates a higher arrival rate than an arrival, performs better than a system in which customers are insensitive to the last event. Moreover, contrary to the M/G/1 queue, we show that the coefficient of variation of the service does not necessarily deteriorate the system performance. Next, we show that this queueing model may be the result of customers’ strategic behavior when only the last event is known. Finally, we investigate the historical admission control problem. We show that, under certain conditions, a deterministic policy with two thresholds may be optimal. This new policy is easy to implement and provides an improvement compared to the classical one-threshold policy.

Analysis of an MMPP/G/1/K queue with queue length dependent arrival rates,and its application to preventive congestion control in telecommunication networks

Recently telecommunication networks have been designed in order to transfer all types of information services such as voice, data and video. Next generation wireless networks has been developed to integrate the existing technologies and to support comprehensive services. As the traffics of diverse services have properties of timecorrelation and burstiness, unpredictable statistical fluctuation of traffic streams may cause congestion. To suggest a congestion control scheme which controls arrival rates according to the queue length, we consider an MMPP/G/1/K queue with queue length dependent arrival rates. The effect of system parameters on performance measures also is explained with the numerical examples.     

The GI/M/1 queue with phase-type working vacations and vacation interruption

Consider a GI/M/1 queue with phase-type working vacations and vacation interruption where the vacation time follows a phase-type distribution. The server takes the original work at the lower rate during the vacation period. And, the server can come back to the normal working level at a service completion instant if there are customers at this instant, and not accomplish a complete vacation. From the PH renewal process theory, we obtain the transition probability matrix. Using the matrix-analytic method, we obtain the steady-state distributions for the queue length at arrival epochs, and waiting time of an arbitrary customer. Meanwhile, we obtain the stochastic decomposition structures of the queue length and waiting time. Two numerical examples are presented lastly.

Analysis of a finite MAP/G/1 queue with group services

The finite capacity queues, GI/PH/1/N and PH/G/1/N, in which customers are served in groups of varying sizes were recently introduced and studied in detail by the author. In this paper we consider a finite capacity queue in which arrivals are governed by a particular Markov renewal process, called a Markovian arrival process (MAP). With general service times and with the same type of service rule, we study this finite capacity queueing model in detail by obtaining explicit expressions for (a) the steady-state queue length densities at arrivals, at departures and at arbitrary time points, (b) the probability distributions of the busy period and the idle period of the server and (c) the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the stationary waiting time distribution of an admitted customer at points of arrivals. Efficient algorithmic procedures for computing the steady-state queue length densities and other system performance measures when services are of phase type are discussed. An illustrative numerical example is presented.
