Abstract:
This paper studies a nonclassical system which controls several independent conflicting flows
and provides service for requests of these flows. It is supposed that there is one high-priority input
flow and one high-intensity flow. The input flows can be approximated with a nonordinary
Poisson flow. The system includes a service device that provides for each flow a service period
and a readjusting period for safe switching between conflicting flows. It is also possible to
prolong service for the high-intensity flow until a number of waiting requests in a high-priority
flow queue reaches a certain threshold.
The most meaningful characteristics of the system are stated. A mathematical probabilistic
model for the system is constructed in the form of a multidimensional homogeneous controllable
Markovian chain. The paper determines necessary conditions for the existence of a stationary
mode in the system. A sufficient condition for existence of a stationary mode for the high-priority
flow is proved as well. All the found conditions can be easily checked in real systems since they
deal only with system parameters such as intensities of the input flows, intensities of service, and
time periods of the service device states.
