Discrete-time GI/Geo/1 queue with multiple working vacations

Consider the discrete time GI/Geo/1 queue with working vacations under EAS and LAS schemes. The server takes the original work at the lower rate rather than completely stopping during the vacation period. Using the matrix-geometric solution method, we obtain the steady-state distribution of the number of customers in the system and present the stochastic decomposition property of the queue length. Furthermore, we find and verify the closed property of conditional probability for negative binomial distributions. Using such property, we obtain the specific expression for the steady-state distribution of the waiting time and explain its two conditional stochastic decomposition structures. Finally, two special models are presented.      

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.     

On stochastic decomposition in the GI/M/1 queue with single exponential vacation

We consider a GI/M/1 queueing system in which the server takes exactly one exponential vacation each time the system empties. We derive the PGF of the stationary queue length and the LST of the stationary FIFO sojourn time. We show that both the queue length and the sojourn time can be stochastically decomposed into meaningful quantities.     

An M/G/1 queue with single working vacation and vacation interruption under Bernoulli schedule

This paper treats an M/G/1 queue with single working vacation and vacation interruption under Bernoulli schedule. Whenever the system becomes empty at a service completion instant, the server goes for a single working vacation. In the working vacation, a customer is served at a lower speed, and if there are customers in the queue at the instant of a service completion, the server is resumed to a regular busy period with probability p   (i.e., the vacation is interrupted) or continues the vacation with probability 1-p$1-p$. Using the matrix analytic method, we obtain the distribution for the stationary queue length at departure epochs. The joint distribution for the stationary queue length and service status at the arbitrary epoch is also obtained by using supplementary variable technique. We also develop a variety of stationary performance measures for this system and give a conditional stochastic decomposition result. Finally, several numerical examples are presented.     

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.     

Algorithmic analysis of the multi-server system with a modified Bernoulli vacation schedule

This paper considers an infinite-capacity M/M/c queueing system with modified Bernoulli vacation under a single vacation policy. At each service completion of a server, the server may go for a vacation or may continue to serve the next customer, if any in the queue. The system is analyzed as a quasi-birth-and-death (QBD) process and the necessary and sufficient condition of system equilibrium is obtained. The explicit closed-form of the rate matrix is derived and the useful formula for computing stationary probabilities is developed by using matrix analytic approach. System performance measures are explicitly developed in terms of computable forms. A cost model is derived to determine the optimal values of the number of servers, service rate and vacation rate simultaneously at the minimum total expected cost per unit time. Illustrative numerical examples demonstrate the optimization approach as well as the effect of various parameters on system performance measures.     

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.     

Cost optimization of a repairable M/G/1 queue with a randomized policy and single vacation

This paper deals with the (p, N)-policy M/G/1 queue with an unreliable server and single vacation. Immediately after all of the customers in the system are served, the server takes single vacation. As soon as N customers are accumulated in the queue, the server is activated for services with probability p or deactivated with probability (1 − p). When the server returns from vacation and the system size exceeds N, the server begins serving the waiting customers. If the number of customers waiting in the queue is less than N when the server returns from vacation, he waits in the system until the system size reaches or exceeds N. It is assumed that the server is subject to break down according to a Poisson process and the repair time obeys a general distribution. This paper derived the system size distribution for the system described above at a stationary point of time. Various system characteristics were also developed. We then constructed a total expected cost function per unit time and applied the Tabu search method to find the minimum cost. Some numerical results are also given for illustrative purposes.     

M/G/1 queue with single working vacation

In this paper, an M/G/1 queue with single working vacation is analyzed. Using the method of supplementary variable and the matrix-analytic method, we obtain the queue length distribution and service status at the arbitrary epoch under steady state conditions. Further, we derive expected busy period and expected busy cycle. Finally, server special cases are presented.     

Multi-server system with single working vacation

We consider an M/M/R queue with vacations, in which the server works with different service rates rather than completely terminates service during his vacation period. Service times during vacation period, service times during service period and vacation times are all exponentially distributed. Neuts’ matrix–geometric approach is utilized to develop the computable explicit formula for the probability distributions of queue length and other system characteristics. A cost model is derived to determine the optimal values of the number of servers and the working vacation rate simultaneously, in order to minimize the total expected cost per unit time. Under the optimal operating conditions, numerical results are provided in which several system characteristics are calculated based on assumed numerical values given to the system parameters.     

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.     

The GI/M/1 queue with Bernoulli-schedule-controlled vacation and vacation interruption

Consider a GI/M/1 queue with multiple vacations. As soon as the system becomes empty, the server either begins an ordinary vacation with probability q  (0?q?1)$(0?q?1)$ or takes a working vacation with probability 1-q$1-q$. We assume the vacation interruption is controlled by Bernoulli. If the system is non-empty at a service completion instant in a working vacation period, the server can come back to the normal busy period with probability p  (0?p?1)$(0?p?1)$ or continue the vacation with probability 1-p$1-p$. Using the matrix-analytic method, we obtain the steady-state distributions for the queue length both at arrival and arbitrary epochs. The waiting time and sojourn time are also derived by different methods. Finally, some numerical examples are presented.

Further, we provide the Laplace-Stieltjes transform (LST) of the stationary waiting time. Finally, numerical examples are presented.     

MAP/PH/1 queue with working vacations,vacation interruptions and N policy

In this paper we study a MAP/PH/1 queueing model in which the server is subject to taking vacations and offering services at a lower rate during those times. The service is returned to normal rate whenever the vacation gets over or when the queue length hits a specific threshold value. This model is analyzed in steady state using matrix analytic methods. An illustrative numerical example is discussed.     

The GI/M/1 queue with exponential vacations

In this paper, we give a detailed analysis of the GI/M/1 queue with exhaustive service and multiple exponential vacation. We express the transition matrix of the imbedded Markov chain as a block-Jacobi form and give a matrix-geometric solution. The probability distribution of the queue length at arrival epochs is derived and is shown to decompose into the distribution of the sum of two independent random variables. In addition, we discuss the limiting behavior of the continuous time queue length processes and obtain the probability distributions for the waiting time and the busy period.

The infinite-buffer single server queue with a variant of multiple vacation policy and batch Markovian arrival process

We consider an infinite-buffer single server queue where arrivals occur according to a batch Markovian arrival process (BMAP). The server serves until system emptied and after that server takes a vacation. The server will take a maximum number H of vacations until either he finds at least one customer in the queue or the server has exhaustively taken all the vacations. We obtain queue length distributions at various epochs such as, service completion/vacation termination, pre-arrival, arbitrary, departure, etc. Some important performance measures, like mean queue lengths and mean waiting times, etc. have been obtained. Several other vacation queueing models like, single and multiple vacation model, queues with exceptional first vacation time, etc. can be considered as special cases of our model.     

The queue-length distribution for Mx/G1 queue with single server vacation

1 IntroductionDuring recent decades many authors studied M/G/l queues with server vacations (seeRefS[1 ~ 6]). They not only studied the stocliastic decomposition properties of the queue lengthand waiting time when the system is in equilibrium, but also studied its transient and equilibrium distributions. Although Baba[7] studied bulk-arrival M"/G/1 with vacation time andShils] studied a kind of M"/G(M/H)/1 queue with repairable service station, they didll't studythe transient and equilibr…

Furthermore, we discuss the relationship between the stochastic decomposition properties of the working vacation queue and those of the standard M/G/1 queue with general vacations.
