    GB A 5
    • The busy hour is assumed to carry 15% of Subscriber
    the daily traffic Data Package / Day / Sub GB B = A / 30 0.1667
    Data Package / BH / Sub GB C = B * 15% 0.025
    • The busy hour average loading is 100%.
    Data Package / BH / Sub MB D = C * 1024 25.6
    • The calculation shows that the total cell Throughput / BH / Sub kbps E = D * 8 * 1024 / 3600 58.25
