By considering several aging or reliability classes for the distribution of the interarrival times (e.g., <span>(DFR)</span>, bounded mean residual lifetime, <span>(NBUE)</span>, <span>(NWUE)</span>, bounded failure rate, <span>(DMRL)</span>, <span>(IMRL)</span>) we give upper and lower bounds for the delayed renewal function, and moreover by assuming the usual stochastic order between the first and the subsequent interarrival times, we give sequences of monotone non-decreasing (non-increasing) lower (upper) bounds converging to the delayed renewal function.

The proposed model can be applied to study the energy management mechanisms of WiMAX and tethered high altitude platform (HAP) systems. In this system, the WiMAX mobile station (MS) switches to a close-down period for a random duration at the end of the busy period. At the end of the close-down period, if the system is non-empty, the MS switches to a functional state. Otherwise, the MS takes an ordinary vacation. The MS switches to a working vacation (WV) if the system is empty at the end of the ordinary vacation period. Jobs arriving during the WV are served at a slower service rate. Jobs may become impatient in any state of the system except during the regular busy period. Explicit expressions for the transient and steady-state probabilities of this system are obtained using continued fraction and confluent hypergeometric functions.

The probability of customers leaving the queue escalates with prolonged waiting times.
