Thanks, Damir 23rd March 2004 at 07:42 #37740 VishadGuest Hi Damir, The following is the estimated Erlang B Formual : E= 1/ ( 1 + N/A + N(N-1)/A^2 + N(N-1)(N-2)/A^3 +… + N!/A^2) Where E = Probability of Loss, N = Number of Trunks, and A= Carried Traffic. Unfortunately, to calculate the number of lines, you will have to use the formula as is, and estimate the number of lines until E approximates your Loss Probability. 23rd March 2004 at 07:43 #37741 VishadGuest Sorry, error in Formula… the correct polynomial is : E= 1/ ( 1 + N/A + N(N-1)/A^2 + N(N-1)(N-2)/A^3 +… + N!/A^N) Author Posts Viewing 3 posts - 1 through 3 (of 3 total) The forum ‘Telecom Design’ is closed to new topics and replies.
