Abstract

In this paper, we analyze a multi-server queueing system with a marked Markov arrival process of two types of customers and a phase-type distribution of service time depending on the type of customer. Customers of both types are assumed to be impatient and renege from the buffers after an exponentially distributed number of times. The strategy of flexible provisioning of priorities is analyzed. It assumes a randomized choice of the customers from the buffers, with probabilities dependent on the relation between the number of customers in a priority finite buffer and the fixed threshold value. To simplify the construction of the underlying Markov chain and the derivation of the explicit form of its generator, we use the so-called generalized phase-type distribution. It is shown that the created Markov chain fits the category of asymptotically quasi-Toeplitz Markov chains. Using this fact, we show that the considered Markov chain is ergodic for any value of the system parameters and compute its stationary distribution. Expressions for key performance measures are presented. Numerical results that show how the parameters of the control strategy affect the system’s performance measurements are given. It is shown that the results can be used for managerial purposes and that it is crucial to take correlation in the arrival process into account.
