Choose the call attempt rate, estimated total attempts or required time to solve for. Use CPS, CPM or CPH rate units and seconds, minutes or hours. Hourly projections assume the rate stays constant and are not observed busy-hour counts.

Find an average rate from the attempt count and the length of the observation period.

Enter a whole count, including unsuccessful attempts.

Use a positive duration. Changing units converts your value.

Call Attempts Per Second Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the call attempts per second for a given total call attempts and total time.

CPS = (TC) / (T)

Variables:

  • CPS is the call attempts per second
  • TC is the total call attempts
  • T is the total time in seconds

To calculate the call attempts per second, divide the total call attempts by the total time in seconds.

What is Call Attempts Per Second?

Call Attempts Per Second (CPS) is a measure used in telecommunications to quantify the number of call attempts made per second. This metric is crucial for understanding the load on a telecommunication network and for ensuring that the network can handle the volume of calls being made. High CPS values can indicate a high demand on the network, which may require scaling resources to maintain quality of service.

How to Calculate Call Attempts Per Second?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Call Attempts Per Second.

  1. First, determine the total number of call attempts (TC).
  2. Next, determine the total time in seconds (T).
  3. Finally, calculate the Call Attempts Per Second using the formula CPS = TC / T.
  4. Choose Call attempts per second, enter 300 total attempts and 60 seconds, and select Calculate. The example gives 5 attempts per second.
