Charged-particle multiplicity distributions are an interesting tool to study both soft- and hard-QCD processes in hadronic collisions. Since the last century, a significant range of center-of-mass energies has been probed, ranging from a few GeV to 13 TeV in the latest LHC run. The common analysis of multiplicity distributions at different energies, in different phase space regions, and from sufficiently different experiments provides a way to systematize and to review available phenomenological models of multiple particle production. In this work, a phenomenological model that can describe simultaneously the charged-particle multiplicity distributions in various restricted pseudorapidity intervals for proton-proton collisions is suggested. The model is successfully applied to experimental results of the ALICE experiment at LHC.
