   This paper considers two methods for voice channel seizure in one GSM cell, which uses VAMOS technics for traffic efficiency improvement. An important characteristic for models comparison is call loss caused by unsuccessful connection pairing in one timeslot. The first method gives priority to voice connection quality, and the other one to traffic efficiency. The methods are estimated by the simulation, which is first tested by comparing its results to the calculation results for a very small system. The influences of traffic intensity, allowed power difference of two paired connections and attenuation coefficient on the loss caused by unsuccessful pairing are assessed.
