About: Call-second

An Entity of Type: organisation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In telecommunication, a call-second is a unit used to measure communications traffic density, equivalent to one call with a duration of one second. Traffic is measured independent of users. For example, one user making two 75-second calls is equivalent to two users each making one 75-second call, as each case produces 150 call-seconds of traffic. A CCS (centacall-second) is often used to describe 100 call-seconds, so 3600 call-seconds = 36 CCS = 1 call-hour. Hence, if one CCS is measured over a one-hour period, the offered load is 1/36 erlangs.

dbo:abstract
  • In telecommunication, a call-second is a unit used to measure communications traffic density, equivalent to one call with a duration of one second. Traffic is measured independent of users. For example, one user making two 75-second calls is equivalent to two users each making one 75-second call, as each case produces 150 call-seconds of traffic. A CCS (centacall-second) is often used to describe 100 call-seconds, so 3600 call-seconds = 36 CCS = 1 call-hour. In a communication network, a trunk (link) can carry numerous concurrent calls by means of multiplexing. Hence a particular number of call-seconds can be carried in infinitely many ways as calls are established and cleared over time. For example, one call-hour could be one call for an hour or two (possibly concurrent) calls for half an hour each. Call-seconds give a measure of the average number of concurrent calls. Offered load is defined as the traffic density per unit time, measured in erlangs. An erlang is defined as one call-hour per hour, or 3,600 call-seconds per hour. Hence, if one CCS is measured over a one-hour period, the offered load is 1/36 erlangs. (en)
