(From Erlangs B formula for C=66 and GoS = 1%, A= 46E and for C= 30 and GoS=1%, A= 30E)
2. A hexagonal cell within a 4-cell system has a radius of 1.387 km. A total of 60 channels are used
within the entire system. 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 kilometer will this system support? [2M]
b. What is the probability (Prob(delay>10/delay>0) that a delayed call will have to wait more
than 10 seconds? [5M]
c. What is the probability (Prob(delay>10)) that a call will be delayed for more than 10
seconds? [3M]
(From Erlangs C chart for C=20 and Prob(delay>0) = 5%, A= 15 E and for C=15 and Prob(delay>0) =
5%, A= 9 E)
