Abstract

We continue our investigation of the batch arrival-heterogeneous multiserver queue begun in Part I. In a general setting we prove the positive Harris recurrence of the system, and with no additional conditions we prove logarithmic tail limits for the stationary queue length and waiting time distributions.
