A note on M/G/1 vacation systems with waiting time limits

Abstract

We consider two variants of M/G/1 queues with exhaustive service and multiple vacations; (1) customers cannot wait for their services longer than an interval of length T, and (2) customers cannot stay in the system longer than an interval of length T. We show that the probability distribution functions of the waiting times for the two systems are given in terms of those for the corresponding M/G/1 vacation systems without any residence-time limits.
