CHANNEL LOADING CALCULATOR FOR 700 MHz Regional Planning Committee Guidance By Joe Kuran Wednesday March 9th 2016

This Channel Loading Calculator is designed for anybody interested in channel loading Discover a fresh approach on how to determine the minimum number of channels needed. With this calculator you will be able to preserve your valuable spectrum and still deliver optimal radio service.

For existing system’s airtime is used. The main subject at this time will be to focus on how to get valid data that goes into the calculator. For existing system’s airtime is used. That could be 1 radio talking 17 minutes. or 17 radios each talking 1 minute

This empirical date is based on the C800/WCCCA Motorola 800MHz simulcast trunking system that covers Clackamas County and Washington Counties in Oregon.   GenWatch was used to extract the data from the Master Site for the year of 2013.

Based on the following statistics: Agencies = 40 Talk groups = 75 Subscribers = 7500 Push-to-talks = 14 million Airtime = 48 million seconds (1.5 years) Repeater hang time = 200mSec   Erlang C default settings: GoS (Grade of Service) = 1% Busy Queue waiting time = 1 Second Talk groups have the same priority 12.5KHz FDMA/2-Slot TDMA voice only No Site restrictions Data would be a separate element

Data is based on the sum of all PTT’s that originated from all cells Site Originations vs: Site Involvement Data is based on the sum of all PTT’s that originated from all cells

Radios in use per average peak hour per Talkgroup WCSO1 40.98 269.7 6.59 The peak from each of the 365 days is than averaged

When GoS exceeds 1% channel is added 67radios in use per hr/talk path. 67 x 6 PTT x 5 sec = 33.5 minutes of airtime per talk path per hour. About 50% max loading per talk path. FDMA 1950 radios 1750 radios 16 freq needed TDMA 9 freq needed When GoS exceeds 1% channel is added 1000/15 talk paths = 67 radios/talk path

This example assumes 25% of 4000 radios are active

The WCCCA Central simulcast provides the majority of the coverage for the WCSO (Washington County Sherriff’s Office) subscribers and home of the WCCCA dispatch center. The C800 Central simulcast provides the majority of the coverage for the CCSO (Clackamas County Sherriff’s Office) subscribers and home of C800 dispatch center. The ATIA data discovered that about 95% of the WCSO radios originated their calls on the WCCCA Central simulcast system and that about 97% of the CCSO radios originate their calls on the C800 Central Simulcast system. This data is what was used to provide PTT count for this study.   Now the ATIA data revealed that about 81% of the 95% WCSO calls were involved on the C800 system and that about 95% of the 97% CCSO calls were in involved on the WCCCA system. Since the C800/WCCCA system has no site restrictions, it allows all units/talkgroups to access all sites. Digging deeper into the data reveals that there is the small amount of involvement on all the calls for a majority of originated calls.

Dispatcher Radio Involvement time WCSO1 Dispatch 41 Radios Per Hour 7 PTT’s per radio per hour 4 seconds duration per PTT 41 times 7 = 287 PTT’s per hour 287 times 4 seconds = 1,148 seconds = 19 minutes of airtime per hour Assume 3 PTT’s per conversation = 287/3 = 96 conversations per hour Each conversation = 4 seconds times 3 PTT’s = 12 seconds airtime per conversation Add 1 seconds per PTT to pick up mic,etc = 12 + 3 = 15 seconds per conversation. Add 10 sec for dispatcher to update CAD entries. 15 + 10 = 25 sec per conversation Dispatcher involvement = 96 conversations x 25sec = 40 minutes per hour

References This basic layout would not have been possible without all the help from Guy Jouannelle at Televate LLC.   Final report of the PSWAC (Public Safety Wireless Advisory Committee) 1996 Page 702 has some calculations that predicted future busy hour airtime. It states that each officer would generate 3.7 minutes of airtime per hour. In contrast, my data for WCSO1 shows 41 officers(radios) each generating 7 PTT’s per hour at 3.8 seconds each. That results in each officer generating 27 seconds per hour. And that one message is comprised of (3) three (5) five second transmissions. Interesting that the data in this document refers to the book by Garry G. Hess.    Land-Mobile Radio System Engineering by Garry G. Hess 1993 Chapter 13 in this book addresses engineering aspects of a radio system’s capacity to carry messages, or radio traffic. The message times per call were based on early 90’s data. This was before the wide spread use mobile data and cell phones and telephone interconnect on the trunking system. The author believes that today’s call lengths are much shorter and therefore more users per channel is possible. Many thanks to EF Johnson. http://go.efjohnson.com/systemdesign
