Performance Analysis of Retrial Queueing Model with Working Vacation, Interruption, Waiting Server, Breakdown and Repair

Abstract

In this present paper, an M/M/1 retrial queueing model with a waiting server subject to breakdown and repair under working vacation, vacation interruption is considered. Customers are served at a slow rate during the working vacation period, and the server may undergo breakdowns from a normal busy state. The customer has to wait in orbit for the service until the server gets repaired. Steady-state solutions are obtained using the probability generating function technique. Probabilities of different server states and some other performance measures of the system are developed.  The variation in mean orbit size, availability of the server, and server state probabilities are plotted for different values of breakdown parameter and repair rate with the help of MATLAB software. Finally, cost optimization of the system is also discussed, and the optimal value of the slow service rate for the model is obtained.
