Chapter 5 Capacity of Wireless Systems Chapter 3 pp. 77-96 Wireless Engineering Traffic and Capacity Wireless Engineering Trunking and Grade of Service Cellular radio systems rely on trunking to accommodate a large number of random users in a limited radio spectrum (fixed number of channels or circuits). Trunking theory exploits the statistical behavior of users. It was first used by telephone companies to determine the number of telephone circuits that need to be allocated for buildings. The fundamentals of trunking theory were developed by Erlang. The measure of traffic intensity has the unit of Erlang. One Erlang represents the amount of traffic intensity carried by a channel that is completely occupied. Wireless Engineering Trunking and Grade of Service The grade of service (GOS) is a measure of the ability of a user to access a trunked system during the busiest hour. The GOS is an important benchmark used to define the desired performance of a particular trunked system. It is the wireless designer’s job to estimate the maximum required capacity and to allocate the proper number of channels to meet the GOS. GOS is typically given as the likelihood that a called is blocked, or the likelihood of a call experiencing a delay greater than a certain queuing time.
