Abstract

In this paper, we consider a multiserver retrial queue with two-way communication. Incoming calls arrive according to the stationary Poisson process and occupy the servers. Durations of incoming calls have an exponential distribution. If all the servers are busy upon arrival, the incoming call joins the orbit. The time spent by the call in the orbit is an exponential random variable. Idle servers also make outgoing calls whose durations follow an exponential distribution. We derive the diffusion limits of the number of calls in the orbit and the approximation of its stationary probability distribution.
