✦ Synopsis


This paper applies the well-known reflection principle for random walks to the analysis of the transient MIMI1 queueing system. A closed-form solution is obtained for the probability that exactly i arrivals and j departures occur over an interval of length t in an MIMI1 queueing system that contains n users at the beginning of the interval. The derivation of this probability is based on the calculation of the number of paths between two points in a two-dimensional xy coordinate system that lie above the x axis and touch the x axis exactly r times. This calculation is readily performed through the application of the reflection principle.

The M/G/1 queue with repeated attempts is considered. A customer who finds the server busy, leaves the service area and joins a pool of unsatisfied customers. Each customer in the pool repeats his demand after a random amount of time until he finds the server free. We focus on the busy period L of t

In teletraffic applications of retrial queues only the service zone is observable. Another part of a retrial queue, the orbit, which represents the delay before repeated attempts to get service, cannot be observed. Thus, it is very important to get general results about behavior of the orbit. We inv

## Abstract In this study we deal with the determination of optimal service rate in an M/M/1 queue. The arrival rate is unknown and assumed to be a random variable with a known distribution function. Holding and operating costs are considered and service rate is determined to minimize total expecte
