Rates of convergence for queues in heavy traffic. II: Sequences of queueing systems

Abstract

Estimates are given for the rates of convergence in functional central limit theorems for the queue length process in a sequence of general multiple channel queues. The situation is considered where the traffic intensity in thenth. queue, ρn, tends to ρ ≧ 1 asnapproaches infinity. This extends previous work by the author, [6], in which the traffic intensity was fixed ≧ 1.
