Abstract— This paper deals with an M/M/1 queueing system
with customer balking and reneging. Balking and reneging of the
customers are assumed to occur due to non-availability of the
server during vacation and breakdown periods. Steady state
probabilities for both the single and multiple vacation scenarios
are obtained by employing probability generating functions. We
evaluate the explicit expressions for various performance
measures of the queueing system.
Key words:— impatient customers, balking, reneging,
vacation, server breakdowns.
1. INTRODUCTION
In real life, it can be observed that most queueing systems
are with server vacations, breakdowns, delayed repairs and
impatient customers. Some of the common examples
include those in manufacturing systems, designing of local
area communication networks and data communication
networks. In general, the customers are impatient. In our fast
life we often see that the customers anticipating service need
to form a queue. Going through impatience due to the
phenomenon of joining queue, the customers may not join
the queue or even if they join, may quit from the queue
without before served.
The primary aim of this paper is to explore the steady
state behavior of the M/M/1 queue with impatient customers
under single and multiple vacation policies. The customer
impatience with vacation has become the essential feature
for the queuing models which are analyzed by the many
authors in the past.
For the queueing models with balking, reneging during
different vacation states the reader may refer to [4 and 5]
Dequan Yue, Wuyi Yue, Xiuju Li [1] considered queuing
system with impatient customers and multiple vacations
under two-phase service. He derived the Probability
generating functions were derived for different states of the
server focusing the number of customers present in the
system. Besides, the closed-form expressions were derived
for various performance measures. These measures included
the mean system sizes for various states of the server, the
average rate of balking, the average rate of reneging and the
average rate of loss. Sherif I. Ammar [2] found the transient
behavior of an M/M/1 queue with impatient customers and
multiple vacations. He obtained the explicit expressions for
the mean and variance of the system size in terms of the
modified Bessel functions.

A recent study by S. Hanumantha Rao, V. Vasanta Kumar
et.al [3] has focused on the impatient behavior of customers
in a two-phase M/M/1 queuing system with server
breakdown and delayed repair. They derived the probability
generating function of the queue length distribution in
steady state, the mean system size and the average rate of
loss.
In this paper, we consider M/M/1 queuing system with
customer balking and reneging during the server vacations
or breakdown periods. The current research is presented as
per the following sections: The second section presents the
mathematical model. The model is considered having
multiple vacation policy and server breakdown. The
equilibrium analysis of the system states is performed in the
third section. Using this, the probability generating functions
of the steady state probabilities are obtained. In section 4,
the closed form expressions for some performance measures
are derived. These measures include mean system size,
average rate of customers served and balked. We considered
the system under the multiple vacations. In fifth and sixth
we describe the mathematical model and derived the steady
state probabilities for the system with breakdowns under
single vacation policy and obtained the various closed form
results respectively. In section seven and eight conclusions
and references are given respectively.
2. MULTIPLE VACATION POLICY
In the current research M/M/1 queue is considered. Here
the server takes multiple vacations. Whenever the server has
no customers to serve, the server will enter vacation mode.
After the vacation period it returns to the system to resume
its services. If the queue line is headed up with the
customers for service, it starts its busy period and continues
the services until the queue line impoverish. On the other
hand, if there are no customers in the queue line by the time
the server returns from vacation, the server takes another
vacation.
Model description
The assumptions and notations of the system model in the
present research are presented below.
a) Customers will arrive into the queue individually with
the Poisson arrival rate
. Also, the service times are
negative exponentially distributed with rate .
