Question

A three stage network is designed with the following parameters:

M=N=512, p = q = 16 and α = 0.65. Calculate the blocking probability of the network, if s=16. Symbols carry their usual meanings.

The blocking probability

P_B = [l-[1-β)²]^s

Here α = 0.65 and k = p/s = 16/16 = 1

P_B = [l-[1-0.65)²]¹⁶

= [l-(0.35)²]¹⁶

= 0.123 Ans.
