Abstract

This paper studies a discrete-time single-server queue with two independent inputs and service interruptions. One of the inputs to the queue is an independent and identically distributed process. The other is a much more general process and it is not required to be Markov nor is it required to be stationary. The service interruption process is also general and it is not required to be Markov or to be stationary. This paper shows that a stochastic decomposition property for the virtual waiting-time process holds in the discrete-time single-server queue with service interruptions. To the best of the author's knowledge, no stochastic decomposition results for virtual waiting-time processes in non-work-conserving queues, such as queues with service interruptions, have been obtained before and only work-conserving queues have been studied in the literature.
