A retrial system with two input streams and two orbit queues

Two independent Poisson streams of jobs flow into a single-server service system having a limited common buffer that can hold at most one job. If a type-i job (i=1,2) finds the server busy, it is blocked and routed to a separate type-i retrial (orbit) queue that attempts to re-dispatch its jobs at its specific Poisson rate. This creates a system with three dependent queues. Such a queueing system serves as a model for two competing job streams in a carrier sensing multiple access system. We study the queueing system using multi-dimensional probability generating functions, and derive its necessary and sufficient stability conditions while solving a boundary value problem. Various performance measures are calculated and numerical results are presented.Comment: N° RR-7999 (2012

Stability of constant retrial rate systems with NBU input*

We study the stability of a single-server retrial queueing system with constant retrial rate, general input and service processes. First, we present a review of some relevant recent results related to the stability criteria of similar systems. Sufficient stability conditions were obtained by Avrachenkov and Morozov (2014), which hold for a rather general retrial system. However, only in the case of Poisson input is an explicit expression provided; otherwise one has to rely on simulation. On the other hand, the stability criteria derived by Lillo (1996) can be easily computed but only hold for the case of exponential service times. We present new sufficient stability conditions, which are less tight than the ones obtained by Avrachenkov and Morozov (2010), but have an analytical expression under rather general assumptions. A key assumption is that interarrival times belongs to the class of new better than used (NBU) distributions. We illustrate the accuracy of the condition based on this assumption (in comparison with known conditions when possible) for a number of non-exponential distributions

Stability Condition of a Retrial Queueing System with Abandoned and Feedback Customers

This paper deals with the stability of a retrial queueing system with two orbits, abandoned and feedback customers. Two independent Poisson streams of customers arrive to the system, and flow into a single-server service system. An arriving one of type i; i = 1; 2, is handled by the server if it is free; otherwise, it is blocked and routed to a separate type-i retrial (orbit) queue that attempts to re-dispatch its jobs at its specific Poisson rate. The customer in the orbit either attempts service again after a random time or gives up receiving service and leaves the system after a random time. After the customer is served completely, the customer will decide either to join the retrial group again for another service or leave the system forever with some probability

A Note on an M/M/s Queueing System with two Reconnect and two Redial Orbits

A queueing system with two reconnect orbits, two redial (retrial) orbits, s servers and two independent Poisson streams of customers is considered. An arriving customer of type i, i = 1, 2 is handled by an available server, if there is any; otherwise, he waits in an infinite buffer queue. A waiting customer of type i who did not get connected to a server will lose his patience and abandon after an exponentially distributed amount of time, the abandoned one may leave the system (lost customer) or move into one of the redial orbits, from which he makes a new attempt to reach the primary queue, and when a customer finishes his conversation with a server, he may comeback to the system, to one of the reconnect orbits where he will wait for another service. In this paper, a fluid model is used to derive a first order approximation for the number of customers in the redial and reconnect orbits in the heavy traffic. The fluid limit of such a model is a unique solution to a system of three differential equations

Diffusion limit for single-server retrial queues with renewal input and outgoing calls

This paper studies a single-server retrial queue with two types of calls (incoming and outgoing calls). Incoming calls arrive at the server according to a renewal process, and outgoing calls of N − 1 (N ≥ 2) categories occur according to N − 1 independent Poisson processes. Upon arrival, if the server is occupied, an incoming call joins a virtual infinite queue called the orbit, and after an exponentially distributed time in orbit enters the server again, while outgoing calls are lost if the server is busy at the time of their arrivals. Although M/G/1 retrial queues and their variants are extensively studied in the literature, the GI/M/1 retrial queues are less studied due to their complexity. This paper aims to obtain a diffusion limit for the number of calls in orbit when the retrial rate is extremely low. Based on the diffusion limit, we built an approximation to the distribution of the number of calls in orbit
