Abstract:
1. A method of assessing a network in terms of level of service for mobile telecommunications apparatuses suitable for managing telephone calls relating data traffic and/or voice and data traffic between said mobile apparatuses and a base station and in which the calls relating to the data traffic are such that they can be queued for a determined time, the method comprising the steps of: attributing an average call frequency for data traffic with an exponential distribution with parameter λ; attributing an average call duration for data traffic with an exponential distribution with parameter μ; attributing an average call waiting time in the queue for data traffic with an exponential distribution with parameter α; and determining the characteristics of the network with regard to the data traffic in terms of level of service in the period of peak traffic, on the basis of a determined number of radio slots allocable to data traffic, and on the basis of said exponential distribution, having as parameters λ, μ and α.
