Introduction to Queueing Theory

Motivation

Queueing Systems

Examples

Five components of a Queueing system:

ASSUME

Assumption is bad in :

Interarrival-time pdf

Service time

Number of servers

Queueing discipline

Finite Length Queues

ASSUME

A/B/m notation

A,B are chosen from the set:

Analysibility

M/M/1 system

Poisson’s Law

Poisson’s Law in Physics

Poisson’s Law in Operations Research

Poisson’s Law in Biology

Poisson’s Law in Transportation

Poisson’s Law in Optics

Poisson’s Law in Communications

- Rate parameter

Poisson’s Law and Binomial Law

Example:

We have:

Analysis

In maple:

To obtain numbers with a Poisson pdf, you can write a program:

Prove:

Subst into :

Now you get:

We already knew:

So by subset:

We have made several assumptions:

The M/M/1 queue in equilibrium

State of the system:

Memory of M/M/1:

Memoryless

Birth-death system

State-transition Diagram

Single-server queueing system

Symbles:

States

Probalility of Given State

Similar to AC

Derivation

by 3a

then:

since all prob. sum to one

Mean value:

Subst (8) into (8a)

differentiate (7) wrt k

multiply both sides of (8c) by

Relationship of , N

T and

Little’s result:

For example:

Compute how long a bird waits in the Queue (on average):

Result:

Mean Queueing Time
