Abstract
Analytic models of communication networks, combining the desired
degree of simplicity and accuracy, are noticeable by their absence
from the literature. Modern networks are so large that the combinatorial
possibilities impose an overwhelming burden on mathematical
model formulation. High speed digital simulations provide one of the
only means of solution for the systems planner. Military communication networks offer more hope for analytical
solution. Much smaller than their civilian counterparts, most military
systems can be modelled satisfactorily as aggregations of queues.
This paper provides approximations to the probability of blocking in
2 terminal, k-channel systems. The probability of blocking is defined
as the probability that a vacant channel is available for connecting
a caller to his desired party whenever the call is placed.
