\(\text{MAP}_1, \text{MAP}_2/\text{M/}c\) retrial queue with guard channels and its application to cellular networks (Q1969162)

The authors consider \(\text{MAP}_1, \text{MAP}_2/ \text{M}/c/b, \infty\) retrial queue with infinite retrial group, geometric loss, guard channels and finite priority queue for hand-off calls. They approximate the joint distribution of two queue lengths, obtain the waiting time distribution for hand-off calls, the loss probabilities, the mean waiting time, and the mean queue lengths.
