Analysis of factors affecting the Erlang-B traffic for a typical mobile radio / Anwar Mohd Abd Mahi

This paper is about the analysis of Erlang-B traffic for a Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) network. Traffic analysis is very important to network operators for cell planning purposes. The results obtained from traffic analysis can be used to improve the grade of service (GoS). Analysis is done based on several parameters such as the area and antenna direction. This paper indicates the steps and countermeasures taken to provide enough traffic to subscribers at different areas. Data analysis is done using MATLAB. A software is developed using Visual Basic 6 to assist traffic personnel to monitor traffic utilization and hence to help solve traffic problems.
