On the orbit characteristics of the MG/ 1 retrial queue
研究了重试队列中不可观测的轨道部分，分析了轨道忙期和空闲期两个特征，对通信流量应用有参考价值。
In teletraffic applications of retrial queues only the service zone is observable. Another part of a retrial queue, the orbit, which represents the delay before repeated attempts to get service, cannot be observed. Thus, it is very important to get general results about behavior of the orbit. We investigate two characteristics of the orbit, namely, the orbit busy period and the orbit idle period, which seem to be very useful from this point of view. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
