This is a measure of traffic or load in a telecommunications system. 1 Erlang is equivalent to one telephone line being permanently used.
Unit of traffic intensity. One Erlang is the intensity at which one traffic path would be continuously occupied, e.g., one call-hour per hour, one call-minute per minute, etc. Generally referred to as 36 CCS.
A dimensionless unit of average traffic density in a telecommunications network.
(1) A unit of traffic intensity. (2) One erlang is the intensity at which one traffic path would be continually occupied.
1 hour, 300 seconds, and 36 CCs. If a channel is occupied (used) constantly for 1 hour, that circuit has carried 1 Erlang of traffic. Also known as a carried load.
Traffic Unit - (1 Erlang = 3600 Calling Seconds = 36 CCS) An international unit of average traffic on a facility during a period of time (usually a busy hour). The number of erlangs is the ratio of the time the facility is occupied (continuously or cumulatively) to the time the facility is available.
a unit of traffic intensity in a telephone system
a measurement used to describe the amount of voice traffic that is passed across a circuit in an hour
a measure of telephone traffic density
a measure of the traffic intensity and is equal to the average number of simultaneous calls at any given moment
a unit of telecommunications traffic measurement
a unit of telephone voice use that specifies the total capacity or average use of a telephone system
A measurement of telecommunication traffic usage. One Erlang equals 3600 seconds of usage in a one hour period of time.
A measure of communications equipment or circuit usage. One Erlang is one hour of equipment usage or 36 CCS.
Standard measure of telecommunications traffic.
A measure of the traffic density in a telecommunications system, based on an hour.
Agner Erlang was a Danish mathematician who was persuaded to divert his energy towards the delivery rates of telephone calls. He's given his name to a few very important formulas for calculating call traffic. It does have its faults, but it's well worth investigating if you're involved in resource planning.
A dimensionless unit of telephone traffic intensity. It is numerically equal to the calling rate times the average holding time. It is named for the Norwegian telephone engineer who first popularized the concept.
Unit of traffic volume corresponding to the number of simultaneous calls in progress at any given time or averaged over a period of time.
One hour of telephone traffic in an hour of time. For example, if circuits carry 120 minutes of traffic in an hour, that's two Erlangs.
A measurement of traffic intensity. One Erlang is one traffic path that is fully occupied. 1 Erlang equals 36 CCS (see also).
