◼ This implies that the channel allocations for cell sites are
designed so that 2 out of 100 calls will be blocked due to channel
occupancy during the busiest hour.
◼ For every call, it is assumed there is no setup time and the user
is given immediate access to a channel if one is available.

Blocked Calls Delayed System (ErlangC)
◼ The probability that the delayed call is forced to wait more than
t seconds is given by the probability that a call is delayed
multiplied by the conditional probability that the delay is
greater than t seconds.

◼ Solution
◼ System A
GoS= 0.02
C = 19 channels/cell
𝐴𝑢 = 2 × (3/60) = 0.1 .

Example 2
◼ System B
Given: Probability of blocking= 2% = 0.02.
For C = 57 ch/cell, from the chart the total earned traffic, , is A =
45 Erlangs.
Therefore, the number of users that can be supported per cell 𝑈
𝐴 45
= = = 450 user/cell
𝐴𝑢 0.1
Total no of supported subs = 450 × 98 = 44100 users
◼ System C
Given: C = 100 ch/cell.
--→ A = 88 Erlang
𝐴 88
𝑈= = = 880= / = 88/0.1 = 880
𝐴𝑢 0.1
The total number of subscribers for C = 880 × 49 = 43120

◼ (a) Find the number of channels in each cell for a four-cell reuse
system.

◼ B) If each cell is to offer capacity that is 90% of perfect
scheduling, find the maximum number of users that can be
supported per cell where omnidirectional antennas are used at
each base station.
Since there are 100 channels per cell & the system is 90 % perfect
scheduling
90
𝐴= ∗ 100 = 90 Erlang
100
A 90
No of users= = = 900
𝐴𝑢 0.1

Slide 23
This is because, we have assumed number of channels/cell to be
same even after sectoring. In practice , after sectoring, the
cluster size decreases. Hence number of channels per cell
increases which results in more number of users per cell.

Slide 24
f) If each cell covers five square kilometers, then how many
subscribers could be supported in an urban market that is 50 km
for the case of 120o sectored antennas?

Example 5 A hexagonal cell has a cell radius of 1.387 Km. It is a 4
cell reuse system. The total number of channels in the entire
system is 60. If the load per user is 0.029 Erlangs, and 𝜆 =1
call/hour , compute the following for an Erlang C system that has a
5 % probability of a delayed call :
a. How many users per square km will this system support?
Cluster size = 4, Cell radius (R) = 1.387 km, S= 60, Au= 0.029 Erlangs, 𝜆=1
call/hour, GOS= 0.05
EELE 5414:WC~Ammar
Slide 26
b. What is the probability that a delayed call will have to wait for
more than 10 seconds?
𝜆=1 call / hour
𝐴𝑢 = 𝜆 × 𝐻
Therefore,
𝐻 = 𝐴𝑢 /𝜆 = 0.029 hours ×3600=104.4 seconds.
c. What is the probability that a call will be delayed for more than
10 seconds?
𝑃𝑟 𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑦 > 10𝑠 = 𝑃𝑟 𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑦 > 10𝑠/𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑦 𝑃𝑟 𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑦 = 0.05 ∗ 0.5629 =
2.81%

Example 6: Exercises in trunking (queueing) theory:
(a) What is the maximum system capacity (total and per channel) in
Erlangs when providing a 2 % blocking probability with four
channels, with 20 channels, with 40 channels?
Cluster size = 4.
As read from the Erlang B chart,
Atotal=1.1 Erlang
Aper channel=1.1/4=0.275 Erlang
EELE 5414:WC~Ammar
Slide 28
(b) How many users can be supported with 40 channels at 2%
blocking? Assume H = 105 s, 𝜆= 1 call/hour.
𝐴𝑢 = 𝜆 × 𝐻=1×105/(60×60)=0.0292
U=A/Au=31/.0292=1068 user
(c) Using the traffic intensity calculated in part (a), find the grade
of service in a lost call delayed system for the case of delays being
greater than 20 seconds. Assume that H = 105 s, and determine
the GOS for four channels, for 20 channels, for 40 channels.
EELE 5414:WC~Ammar
Slide 29
For C = 40 channel, Atotal=31 Erlang
Pr(delay > 0) = 0.083
Pr 𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑦 > 20 = Pr 𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑎𝑦 > 0 𝑒𝑥𝑝 − 𝐶 − 𝐴 𝑡/𝐻 =0.0149
(d) Comparing part (a) and part (c), does a lost call delayed system
with a 20 second queue perform better than a system that clears
blocked calls?
