Abstract
The provisioning process of the present invention first determines the average number of units of the system resource that are held per call. This parameter is a function of the call model and call-related event holding times. The average number of units is used, along with the Busy Hour Call Attempts to determine the holding rate, R,, of that particular call-related event to be allocated memory. The holding rate is then used by ┌R,+,{square root over (R,)}┐ to determine the number of resources required to be allocated to the call-related event.
