A single server compulsory vacation queue with three type of services and with restricted admissibility
Abstract
A single server queue with compulsory server vacation has been considered. In addition the admission to queue is based on a Bernoulli process and the server gives two type of services and an optional service. For this model the probability generating function for the number of customers in the queue at different server’s state are obtained using supplementary variable technique. Some performance measures are calculated.

Also, some performance measures related to this queueing model are obtained from these probability generating functions and are given in section 5. In sections 6 and 7, particular model is derived by assigning particular values to the parameters and a numerical study is carried out respectively.
Model Description
Consider a single server queue with the customers arrival follows, according to a Poisson process of intensity λ and the server provides two types of services, respectively called type 1 service and type 2 service. At the beginning of a service, it is assumed that the customer has the choice of selecting type 1 service with probability 1 p or type 2 service with probability
The type 1 service is a phase type service (two phases). After completion of type 1 service, the customer leaves the system, whereas after completion of type 2 service, the customer leaves the system with probability 3 -1 p or choose an optional service with probability .
3 p After completion of optional service, the customer leaves the system. Here the optional service is called type 3 service. The service discipline is assumed to be first come, first served (FCFS). The service time distributions are general, the distribution functions are ) (
After completion of each service the server takes vacation for a random period of time, called vacation period. This vacation period V is independently and identically distributed with distribution function ), (x V Laplace-Stieltjes transform (LST)
Further, it is assumed that not all the arriving customers are allowed to join the system at all time. Let r
r be the probability that an arriving customer will be allowed to join the system while the server is busy or idle and let p ) 1 < < 0 ( p be the probability that an arriving customer will be allowed to join the system while the server is on vacation. It may be noted that
and are the first order differential functions (hazard rates) of
and Q denote the corresponding steady state probabilities.
The probability generating functions for the probabilities
be the conditional probability of completion of the given that the elapsed vacation time is .
The Governing Equations
We utilize the argument of Cox [1] and obtain the following Kolmogorov forward equations related to the above defined model under the steady state conditions:
The above set of equations is to be solved under the following boundary conditions at
and the normalization condition is 1
The Analysis
Multiplying equation (2) by , n z summing from 1 = n to and then adding (1), we get
Integration of the equation (20) leads to
Taking x = 0 in equation ( 21), the constant C is obtained as
Using equation ( 33) in ( 28) and (30), we get
Using equations (34), ( 35) in ( 29) and (31), we get
Integration of equations ( 23)-( 27) with respect to x and using (33)-(37), we get
in equations ( 38)-(42) and using equation ( 19) leads to
Equation ( 43) is called the probability that the server is idle and no one in the system. Equations ( 38)-( 42) together with equation ( 43) are respectively, the probability generating functions of the number of customers in the queue when the server is serving type 1 service and is in the th j ) 2 , 1 = ( j phase of service, serving type 2 service and type 3 service respectively, the server is on vacation. Here 0 Q guarantees the existence of the probability generating functions in equations ( 38)-( 42) and therefore the stability condition for the system is
The probability generating function that the number of customers in the queue irrespective of the server state is
The Performance Measures
Using straightforward calculations the following performance measures have been obtained: (i) The mean number of customers in the queue is
is given in equation ( 44). (ii) The mean waiting time in the queue is
The results coincides with the result of Madan [14] .
Particular Model
In this section, a particular model has been calculated by taking known distribution to service time and vacation time. The service times distribution are negative exponential with parameters ). ( 21 q q The following performance measures have been calculated.
The Numerical Study
In this section, numerical results are pressented related to the model discussed in section 6. We fix some parameter values , 0 . has been varied from 1.1, 1.5, 1.9, ( 1 has been varied from 1.1, 1.5, 1.9)). Figures 1,2 represents the mean number of customers in the queue whereas 3, 4 indicates that the mean waiting time in the queue with respect to arrival rate. All the functions are increasing function. Table 1 represents the probability that the server is idle. From the table it is clear that the arrival rate increases, the corresponding probability is also increases.
