Analysis of the Asymmetrical Shortest Two-Server Queueing Model

摘要

This study presents the analytic solution for the asymmetrical two-serverqueueing model with arriving customers joining the shorter queue for the case with Poisson arrival and negative exponentially distributed service times. The bivariate generating function of the stationary joint distribution of the queue lengths is explicity determined by the results obtained. The determination of this bivariate generating function requires the construction of four generating functions. It is shown that each of these functions is the sum of a polynomial and a meromorphic function. The poles and residues at the poles of the meromorphic functions can be simply calculated recursively; the coefficients of the polynomials are easily found, in particular if the asymmetry in the model parameters is not excessively large. The starting point for the asymptotic analysis for the queue lengths is obtained. The approach developed in the present study is applicable to a larger class of random walks modeling asymmetrical two-dimensional queueing processes.
