Abstract

In the mobile network, building a prediction based network traffic model is of great significance for mobile network optimization, so that the operators is able to schedule the resources adaptively. In the paper, multiplicative seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model (ARIMA) and Holt-Winters model are proposed for modeling of traffic predication, where the historical traffic series of a typical tourist area are utilized to verify the performance. The two methods analyze the trend of mobile network traffic per hour, build and validate models. Then predict mobile network traffic within a given period of time. The error rate of different models predictions is analyzed to provide certain decision basis for the allocation of network resources.
