Abstract

Currently power telecommunication access networks have many new requirements to meet the low-power WAN with smart electric power allocations. In such a case, network traffic in the low-power WAN has exhibited new features and there are some challenges for network managements. This paper uses the linear regression model to propose a new method to model and predict network traffic. Firstly, network traffic is modeled as a linear regression model according to the regression model theory. Then the linear regression modeling method is used to capture network traffic features. By calculating the parameters of the model, it can be decided correctly. Then, we can predict network traffic accurately. Simulation results show that our approach is effective and promising.
