Two queues with alternating service and server breakdown
A single server performs service at two stations in a cyclic manner. Breakdowns and following repairs of the server can occur both at polling and service times. Assuming Poisson arrival processes to each station and a Poisson process of breakdowns, an approximate analysis of the mean value of the waiting time is presented via the handling of so-called service and polling completion times. A preemptive repeat discipline with always new samples of service and polling times, respectively, is used in the treatment of breakdowns. Numerical results evaluate the deduced formulas.
