The discrete-time bulk-service \(Geo/Geo/1\) queue with multiple working vacations (Q2375591): Difference between revisions

Summary: This paper deals with a discrete-time bulk-service \(Geo/Geo/1\) queueing system with infinite buffer space and multiple working vacations. Considering an early arrival system, as soon as the server empties the system in a regular busy period, he leaves the system and takes a working vacation for a random duration at time \(n\). The service times both in a working vacation and in a busy period and the vacation times are assumed to be geometrically distributed. By using embedded Markov chain approach and difference operator method, queue length of the whole system at random slots and the waiting time for an arriving customer are obtained. The queue length distributions of the outside observer's observation epoch are investigated. Numerical experiment is performed to validate the analytical results.
