Abstract

The paper deals with a single server, finite-source retrial queue where the server serves two types of customers, called regular customers and subscribed customers. The service times of both types customers follow two distinct arbitrary probability distributions. In addition, the subscribed customers do not join the orbit of repeated regular customers if the server is busy at the time of their arrival. Instead, such an unsuccessful subscribed customer waits till the current regular service is over, and then is accepted for service. Using the supplementary variable approach and the discrete transformations technique we derive formulas for computing the stationary joint distribution of the server state and the orbit size.
