Abstract

A transient Markov queue is investigated that provides options for two types of server vacations. When the server becomes idle after serving the last customer, he has the choice to take a complete vacation (CV) or a working vacation (WV). New arrivals can join the system in CV or WV mode with different arrival rates, which are dependent on the state of the system. During CV, the server remains idle, while during WV, he serves at a slower rate. After returning from the CV (or WV), the server immediately starts the service if some customers are waiting in the system; otherwise, he waits for the arrivals. The transient queue size distribution and other queueing indices are determined using continued fractions and probability generating function techniques. The stationary distribution is also derived from the transient distribution. Numerical analysis is conducted using a practical application to display the analytical results in real-life scenarios.
