This paper deals with the steady-state behavior of a discrete-time unreliableGeo/G/1retrial queueing system with balking customers and second optional service. The server may break down randomly while serving the customers. If the server breaks down, the server is sent to be repaired immediately. We analyze the Markov chain underlying the considered system and its ergodicity condition. Then, we obtain some performance measures based on the generating functions. Moreover, a stochastic decomposition result of the system size is investigated. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effect of some parameters on main performance measures of the system.

An M/G/1 retrial queueing system with two phases of service of which the second phase is optional and the server operating under Bernoulli vacation schedule is investigated. Further, the customer is allowed to balk upon arrival if he finds the server unavailable to serve his request immediately. The joint generating functions of orbit size and server status are derived using supplementary variable technique. Some important performance measures like the orbit size, the system size, the server utilisation and the probability that the system is empty are found. Stochastic decomposition law is established when there is no balking permitted. Some existing results are derived as special cases of our model under study. Interestingly, these performance measures are compared for various vacation schedules namely exhaustive service, 1-limited service, Bernoulli vacation and modified Bernoulli vacation schedules. Extensive numerical analysis is carried out to exhibit the effect of the system parameters on the performance measures.

This paper discusses a discrete-time Geo/G/1 retrial queue with the server subject to breakdowns and repairs. The customer just being served before server breakdown completes his remaining service when the server is fixed. The server lifetimes are assumed to be geometrical and the server repair times are arbitrarily distributed. We study the Markov chain underlying the considered queueing system and present its stability condition as well as some performance measures of the system in steady-state. Then, we derive a stochastic decomposition law and as an application we give bounds for the proximity between the steady-state distributions of our system and the corresponding system without retrials. Also, we introduce the concept of generalized service time and develop a recursive procedure to obtain the steady-state distributions of the orbit and system size. Finally, we prove the convergence to the continuous-time counterpart and show some numerical results.

This paper is concerned with a discrete-timeGeo/G/1retrial queueing model withJvacations and two types of breakdowns. If the orbit is empty, the server takes at mostJvacations repeatedly until at least one customer appears in the orbit upon returning from a vacation. It is assumed that the server is subject to two types of different breakdowns and is sent immediately for repair. We analyze the Markov chain underlying the considered queueing system and derive the system state distribution as well as the orbit size and the system size distributions in terms of their generating functions. Then, we obtain some performance measures through the generating functions. Moreover, the stochastic decomposition property and the corresponding continuous-time queueing system are investigated. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effect of vacations and breakdowns on several performance measures of the system.

This paper presents a retrial queueing system with customer induced interruption while in service. We consider a single server queueing system of infinite capacity to which customers arrive according to a Poisson process and the service time follows an exponential distribution.An arriving customer to an idle server obtains service immediately and customers who find server busy go directly to the orbit from where he retry for service. The inter-retrial time follows exponential distribution. The customer interruption while in service occurs according to a Poisson process and the interruption duration follows an exponential distribution. The customer whose service is got interrupted will enter into a finite buffer. Any interrupted customer, finding the buffer full, is considered lost. Those interrupted customers who complete their interruptions will be placed into another buffer of same size. The interrupted customers waiting for service are given non-preemptive priority over new customers. We analyse the steady-state behavior of this queuing system. Several performance measures are obtained. Numerical illustrations of the system behaviour are also provided with example.

In this investigation, a novel sort of retrial queueing system with working breakdown services is introduced. Two distinct kinds of customers are considered, which are priority and ordinary customers. The normal busy server may become inadequate due to catastrophes at any time which cause the major server to fail. At a failure moment, the major server is sent to be fixed and the server functions at a lower speed (called the working breakdown period) during the repair period. The probability generating functions (PGF) of the system size is found using the concepts of the supplementary variable technique (SVT). The impact of parameters in system performance measures and cost optimization are examined numerically.

We analyze a discrete-timeGeo/G/1 retrial queue with two different types of vacations and general retrial times. Two different types of vacation policies are investigated in this model, one of which is nonexhaustive urgent vacation during serving and the other is normal exhaustive vacation. For this model, we give the steady-state analysis for the considered queueing system. Firstly, we obtain the generating functions of the number of customers in our model. Then, we obtain the closed-form expressions of some performance measures and also give a stochastic decomposition result for the system size. Moreover, the relationship between this discrete-time model and the corresponding continuous-time model is also investigated. Finally, some numerical results are provided to illustrate the effect of nonexhaustive urgent vacation on some performance characteristics of the system.
