Due to the importance that mobile telecommunication systems are assuming in voice networks, this paper addresses the problem of modelling the traffic that characterizes cellular systems. Starting from experimental data provided by a mobile telecom operator, the two aspects of interarrival times and holding times of voice calls are considered. For each of them a study is carried out to find the best mathematical modelling that can represent the experimental data. This study confirms that the exponential assumption for the distribution of interarrival and holding time is far from reality.
