The article explores different types of polling systems with specific rules for when the server moves between stations. They look at systems where the server only goes to a station if there are enough customers there. The researchers analyze three specific systems and calculate formulas for different aspects like waiting times and number of jobs in the system. They find that in one system, if switch-in times and arrival rates are the same, then the waiting times for jobs in all stations will be equal.
