If it were to describe the traffic in a mobile phone network, what would be the best mathematical distributions?

It would be more of a combination of distributions? Which distribution would describe better normal traffic and which would describe better high traffic?

I have seen lots of distribution being used in many articles, but I don't have the knowledge to conclude which is better for real life simulations.

Note: I am more interested in the distribution of number of calls in a period of time, for short and long periods of time also.

The Poisson distribution sounds about right if you are interested in number of calls over a time period.
