Abstract:

The authors consider a equ2 queueing system with N-policy. The server is turned off as soon as the system empties. When the queue length reaches or exceeds a predetermined value equ3(threshold), the server is turned on and begins to serve the customers. The authors place the present emphasis on understanding the operational characteristics of the queueing system. One of the findings is that the system size is the sum of two independent random variables: one has the PGF of the stationary system size of the equ4 queueing system without equ5-policy and the other one has the probability generating function equ6, in which equ7 is the probability that the system state stays at equ8 before reaching or exceeding N during an idle period. Using this interpretation of the system size distribution, the authors determine the optimal threshold equ9 under a linear cost structure.
