Use cases in telecom: Poisson distribution

Use cases in telecom: Poisson distribution

(upbeat music) - [Instructor] Now what are the different use cases of the poisson distribution? Again, we can look into the network reliability in this case, and we would like to see that how often a call drop may happen across different sites, across different time domains. Maybe a busy hour, we would like to calculate it, a network reliability for that particular timestamp. So that is possible. If you would like to validate the service level agreement, that is also possible with your vendor, whatever the agreement you have, or even if you are doing it in-house, the kind of quality analysis you can do. You can see that either the call drops are exceeding the particular threshold or not. If it is set to a certain level by poisson distribution, you can see that what is the probability that there would be a more number of cold drops beyond that particular threshold. So it gives you a fair idea, like how much you're going beyond particular threshold. Because sometimes, in SLA, you have a…
