an Erlang Table
Erlang
traffic tables show the load - in Erlangs - a trunk group of
a given number of trunks (N), can handle at 1%, 2%, and 5% grades
of service. To find how many trunks are needed to meet a specified
GOS, you must know the anticipated load during the peak busy hour.
Once you know this, use the column corresponding to the GOS to find
the required number of trunks.
Example
A cell is to have a load of 10 Erlangs with a GOS of 2%.
The Erlang Traffic Tables show that 16 trunks are required.
(Find the next highest and round down).
