Abstract: |
In this paper, we study a
discrete-time first-comefirst- served queueing system with a single server and two types
(classes) of customers, where the (average) service time of a customer is
longer if its type differs from the type of the preceding customer. As
opposed to traditional literature, the different types of customers do not
occur randomly and independently in the arrival stream: we include a Markovian type of correlation in the types of consecutive
customers instead. We deduce the probability generating function of the system
content, from which we extract various performance measures, such as the mean
values of the system content and the customer delay. We demonstrate that the
interclass correlation in the arrival stream has a tremendous impact on the
system performance, which highlights the necessity to include it in the
performance assessment of the system. |
