Abstract
A novel approximate model is proposed for the evaluation of call blocking probabilities in mobile cellular networks with just one service class. The accuracy of the approximate model is assessed by comparison against results of detailed simulation experiments, a previously proposed model, and upper and lower bounds to the call blocking probability. Numerical results show that the proposed model is accurate, in spite of its remarkably small state space.
