Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate a finite-source retrial queueing system with two-way communication. Customers, who arrive from a finite source according to an exponential distribution, are referred to as primary customers. If the service unit is available, these customers will receive service immediately, but if not, they are redirected to the orbit and attempt to reach the server again after a random amount of time. The system is unique in that when the server becomes idle, an outgoing call, also known as a secondary customer, is made to the orbit and source with varying parameters. Both primary and secondary customers receive service following an exponential distribution, but with differing rates. This investigation aims to conduct a sensitivity analysis on the performance measures by using different distributions of the customers’ retrial time in two separate cases. The results of the comparison will be displayed graphically.
