Abstract
An algorithm or method for ascertaining minimum cellular system costs is presented based on the recognition that the proper distribution of wired network blocking probability is the prime consideration in optimizing system design for minimum cost. System costs are calculated for each of a series of VCs maximum blocking probabilities "b" wherein the total wired network blocking probability is "BP" and the channel element blocking probability for each of those calculations must not exceed "(BP-b))/(1-b)". An examination of the resulting calculations will then reveal the appropriate distribution of resources to minimize costs.
