On Polling Systems where Servers wait for Customers
N° RR-3058 (1996)
Abstract: In this paper, a particular polling system with $N$ queues and $V$ servers is analyzed. Whenever a server visits an empty queue, it waits for the next customer to come to this queue. A customer chooses his destination according to a routing matrix $P$. The model originates from specific problems arising in transportation networks. A global classification of the process describing the system is given under general assumptions. It is shown that this process can only be {\em transient} or {\em null recurrent}. In addition, a detailed classification of each node, together with limit laws (after proper time-scaling) are obtained. The method of analysis rel= ies on the central limit theorem and a coupling with a reference system in which transportation times are identically zero.
