Abstract

This paper deals with the maximum entropy principle (MEP) to explore the steady state behaviour of the bulk arrival retrial queuing system. The concepts of Bernoulli vacation schedule and second optional service are taken into consideration. After the completion of first essential service (second optional service), the server has an option to go for vacation with probability p(q) or may continue to serve the next customer, if any with complementary probability. During vacation, the server is allowed to do some secondary work and is called on working vacation. By introducing supplementary variables and using generating function technique, we obtain the expected number of the customers and expected waiting time of the customers in the retrial group. By employing the maximum entropy approach, we derive various system performance measures. By taking the numerical illustrations we perform a comparative study between the exact waiting time and the approximate waiting time based on MEP analysis. The sensitivity analysis is also carried out to validate the analytical results.
