Two Way Communication Retrial Queues with Balanced Call Blending

Abstract: Abstract. In call centers, call blending consists in the mixing of incoming and outgoing call activity. Artalejo and Phung-Duc recently provided an apt model for such a setting, with a two way communication retrial queue. However, by assuming a classical (proportional) retrial rate for the incoming calls, the outgoing call activity is largely blocked when many incoming calls are in orbit, which may be unwanted, especially when outgoing calls are vital to the service offered.In this paper, we assume a balanced … Show more

“…Approximation methods are essential to deal with the complexity of communication protocols especially in a call center context, where the server not only serves incoming calls, but in idle time it makes outgoing calls to the outside. This type of systems with both incoming and outgoing calls is referred to as a two-way communication retrial queueing model [21,22]. Many researchers undertook to examine such a model in the literature of queues.…”
