It is based on actual voice traffic recordings performed in several canadian cities, and concerns four classes of users: Police, taxi, trucking, repair and maintenance. Statistical analysis results for each of these classes of users allow categorization of their respective channel utilization characteristics and efficiency. This work has been performed under contract with the Department of Communications of Canada.
