Some performance measures for vacation models with a batch Markovian arrival process (Q1331378): Difference between revisions

A single server infinite capacity queueing system with a batch Markovian arrival process (BMAP) is considered. Particular BMAPs are the batch Poisson arrival process, the Markovian arrival process, many batch arrival processes with correlated interarrival times and batch sizes, and superpositions of these processes. The server applies Kella's vacation scheme, i.e. a vacation policy where the decision of whether to take a new vacation or not, when the system is empty, depends on the number of vacations already taken in the current inactive phase. This exhaustive service discipline includes both the single and the multiple vacation \(T\)-policy. The service times are i.i.d. random variables, independent of the interarrival times and the vacation durations. Some important performance measures such as the distribution functions and means of the virtual and the actual waiting times are given. Finally, a numerical example is presented.
