Abstract

Fixed point approximations for blocking probabilities arising from a link independence assumption and a light retrial rate limit are derived for circuitswitched network models that incorporate caller retrials. This approximation is a generalization of the well-known reduced load approximation for loss networks, which retains much of the versatility of this approximation.
