Hi friends,
How can we convert voice traffic/Video traffic from Erlang to kbps/Mbps and vice versa?
Is there some direct conversion model or not?
I am talking about 2G/3G Voice and video on Um/UU interface.
Looking forward for suggestions! :)

those are different concepts. There's no how to convert.

1 Erlang = 64 kBps x 3600 seconds x 1 byte/8 bits = 28.8 MB of traffic in one hour :p

1 Erlang = 64 kBps x 3600 seconds x 1 byte/8 bits = 28.8 MB of traffic in one hour :p
So this means:
1kbps = 1 Erlang/3600 X 8/64
1kbps = 0.0000347 Erlang (For the case of Video)
For case of voice call:
1kbps = 1Erlang / 3600 X 8/ 12.2
1kbps = 0.0001821 Er

To convert from Erlang to Mbyte use the following equation:
T
- Traffic (volume) = Traffic (Erlang) * 3600 * Bearer BR * AF

Maybe www.erlang.com (http://www.erlang.com) could make it faster for you. There are some online calculators whre you can get throughputs and blocking rates for Erlang traffic.

Brianm,
Thanks!
Can you elaborate AF?

Brianm,

AF = Activity Factor
For voice services most vendors recommend to use 0.6
For data services most vendors recommend to use 1
