Characterizations of the Exponential Distribution via the Blocking Time in a Queueing System with an Unreliable Server

The characterization of the exponential distribution via the coefficient of the variation of the blocking time in a queueing system with an unreliable server, as given by Lin (1993), is improved by substantially weakening the conditions. Based on the coefficient of variation of certain random variab...
