We consider a two-dimensional reflecting random walk on the nonnegative integer quadrant. This random walk is assumed to be skip free in the direction to the boundary of the quadrant, but may have unbounded jumps in the opposite direction, which are referred to as upward jumps. We are interested in the tail asymptotic behavior of its stationary distribution, provided it exists. Assuming that the upward jump size distributions have light tails, we find the rough tail asymptotics of the marginal stationary distributions in all directions. This generalizes the corresponding results for the skip-free reflecting random walk in Miyazawa (2009). We exemplify these results for a two-node queueing network with exogenous batch arrivals.
