Abstract

Queueing models with controllable service rate play an important role in telecommunication systems. This paper deals with a single-server model with a batch Markovian arrival process (BMAP) and two service modes, where switch-over times are involved when changing the service mode. The embedded stationary queue length distribution and the explicit dependence of operation criteria on switch-over levels and derived.
