FINITE STATE STOCHASTIC PROCESS WITH VARIABLE SUBSCRIBER BEHAVIOR.

Abstract

The report presents some results obtained in an investigation of the effects in a queue of N customers when, due to a change in some common outside stimulus, parameters describing individual customer behavior change in value, such as individual calling and service rates at a small military switchboard when rates change in response to a change in enemy activity. Solutions are obtained for the distribution of busy customers when the change in stimulus occurs at a known time and at a later random time. Other measures such as the probability of blocking can be obtained from the resulting solutions. (Author)
