ANALYSIS OF A NONPREEMPTIVE PRIORITY QUEUE WITH SPP ARRIVALS OF HIGH-CLASS

This paper considers a nonpreemptive priority queueing system with two priority classes of customers, where high priority customers arrive to the system in accordance with a switched Poisson process (SPP) and low priority customers in accordance with a Poisson process. Using the supplementary variable technique, we derive the joint probability generating function of the stationary queue length distributions and the Laplace-Stieltjes transforms of the stationary waiting time distributions of high and low priority customers. We also present some numerical results in order to show the computational feasibility of the analytical results.
