Recommended methods for traffic determination are indicated in Recommendation E.500.For sem

4、hesame parameter value of p = 1% should be used for the total traffic.The values of 3% and 1% quoted above refer to the Erlang B formula and derived tables and curves. The 3%value should not be considered as determining a grade of service because with semiautomatic operation there will besome smooth

6、mended that the proposed number of circuits should, if necessary, be increased toensure that the loss probability shall not exceed 7% during the mean busy hour for the average traffic estimated for thefive busiest days as specified in Recommendation E.500.1.3 For small groups of long intercontinenta

It is envisaged that such circuits would be operated on a both-way basis and that areasonable minimum for automatic service would be a group of six circuits. A table providing relaxation in Annex A isbas

The generalprovision for exceptional days remains unchanged.For exceptional circumstances in which very small groups (less than six intercontinental circuits) are used forautomatic operation, dimensioni

In order to allow for differences on groups containing both-way circuits it w

10、ill bedesirable to acquire information in respect to traffic flow both during the mean busy hour for both directions andduring the mean busy hour for each direction.It is possible that in some cases overflow traffic can be accepted without any necessity to increase the numberof circuits, in spite of

11、 the fact that this overflow traffic is of a peaky nature. Such circumstances may arise if there is notraffic overflowing from high-usage groups during the mean busy hour of the final group.3 Both-way circuits3.1 With the use of both-way circuits there is a danger of simultaneous seizure at both end

12、s; this is particularly thecase on circuits with a long propagation time. It is advisable to arrange the sequence of selection at the two ends so thatsuch double seizure can only occur when a single circuit remains free.2 Fascicle II.3 - Rec. E.520When all the circuits of a group are operated on a b

13、oth-way basis, time differences in the directional mean busyhours may result in a total mean busy-hour traffic flow for the group which is not the sum of the mean busy-hour trafficloads in each direction. Furthermore, such differences in directional mean busy hour may vary with seasons of the year.H

14、owever, the available methods of traffic measurement can determine the traffic flow during mean busy hour for thistotal traffic.3.2 Some intercontinental groups may include one-way as well as both-way operated circuits. It is recommendedthat in all cases the one-way circuits should be used, when fre

The number ofcircuits to be provided will depend upon the one-way and total traffic.The total traffic will need to be determined for:a) each direction of traffic;b) both-way traffic.This determination is to be made for the busy hour or the busy hours corres

16、ponding to the two cases a) and b)above.In the cases where the number of one-way circuits is approximately equal for each direction, no specialprocedure is necessary, and the calculation can be treated as for a simple two-group grading 1.If the number of one-way circuits is quite different for the t

17、wo directions, some correction may be needed forthe difference in randomness of the flow of calls from the two one-way circuit groups to the both-way circuit group.The general techniques for handling cases of this type are quoted in Recommendation E.521.ANNEX A(to Recommendation E.520)Table A-1/E.52

The traffic flow values obtained from a smoothing curve coincide very nearly with thosedetermined by equal marginal utility theory, i.e. an improvement factor of 0.05 Erlang for an addi
