On Equivalent Random Traffic method extension

Abstract

The key result of the paper is the Equivalent Random Traffic (ERT) method extension for estimation of the throughput for schemes with traffic splitting. The excellent accuracy (relative error is less than 1%) is shown in numerical example. A numerical algorithm is given — how to estimate the throughput for schemes at traffic splitting and merging. The paper also contains new Erlang-B formula algorithm for non-integer number of channels based on parabolic approximation.
