Retrial queueing system with balking, optional service and vacation

Abstract

In this study, we propose a single server retrial queueing system with balking, second optional service and single vacation. At the arrival epoch, if the server is busy, the arriving job join the orbit or balks the system whereas if the server is free, then the arriving job starts its service immediately. For each job, the server provides two phases of service. All the jobs demand the first essential service, whereas only some of the jobs demand for the second optional service. If the system is empty, then the server becomes inactive and begins a single vacation. If server comes back from the vacation, it does not go for another vacation even if the system is still empty at that time. The steady state distributions of the server state and the number of jobs in the orbit are obtained along with other performance measures. The effects of various parameters on the system performance are analyzed numerically. A general decomposition law for this retrial queueing system is established.
