Abstract:

The paper investigates the queueing process in stochastic systems with bulk input, batch state dependent service, server vacations, and three post-vacation diciplines. The policy of leaving and entering busy periods is hysteretic, meaning that, initially, the server leaves the system on multiple vacation trips whenever the queue falls below r (⩾1), and resumes service when during his absence the system replenishes to N or more customers upon one of his returns. During his vacation trips, the server can be called off on emergency, limiting his trips by a specified random variable (thereby encompassing several classes of vacation queues, such as ones with multiple and single vacations). If by then the queue has not reached another fixed threshold M (⩽ N), the server enters a so-called ‘post-vacation period’ characterized by three different disciplines: waiting, or leaving on multiple vacation trips with or without emergency. For all three disciplines, the probability generating functions of the discrete and continuous time parameter queueing processes in the steady state are obtained in a closed analytic form. The author uses a semi-regenerative approach and enhances fluctuation techniques (from his previous studies) preceding the analysis of queueing systems. Various examples demonstrate and discuss the results obtained.
