Abstract

We consider anM/M/1 retrial queueing system in which the retrial time has a general distribution and only the customer at the head of the queue is allowed to retry for service. We find a necessary and sufficient condition for ergodicity and, when this is satisfied, the generating function of the distribution of the number of customers in the queue and the Laplace transform of the waiting time distribution under steady-state conditions. The results agree with known results for special cases.
