Analysis of Unfinished Work and Queue Waiting Time for the M/G/1 Queue with D-policy

  • Published : 1999.12.01

Abstract

We consider the M/G/1 queueing model with D-policy. The server is turned off at the end of each busy period and is activated again only when the sum of the service times of all waiting customers exceeds a fixed value D. We obtain the distribution of unfinished work and show that the unfinished work decomposes into two random variables, one of which is the unfinished work of ordinary M/G/1 queue. We also derive the distribution of queue waiting time.
