Analysis of the M/M/2 Queue with Heterogeneous
Servers, System Disaster, Server Repair, Customers’
Impatience, Balking and Reneging
Dr. K. Vimala
Abstract
Heterogeneity of service is a major aspect of many real
multi-server queueing situations such as banks,
hospitals, telecommunication networks, manufacturing
systems and several busi- ness organisations. In this
paper we consider a two-server heterogeneous queueing
system with disastrous breakdowns, repair, balking and
reneging and customer impatience where customers became
impatient when the system is down. The system size
probabilities in tran- sient state are obtained in
modified Bessel function closed form using generating
functions and the identity of the confluent
hypergeometric function. Further, the steady-state
system size probabilities are derived in closed form
using identities and hypergeometric function. Numerical
illustrations are also shown to visualize the system
effect.
