Forecasting Wireless Traffic In Mesh Networks Using Deep Metric Algorithms

Abstract

The proposed system introduces a novel Deep Metric Algorithm as a cornerstone for enhancing the feasibility and optimal of network traffic prediction within the dynamic landscape of cloud technologies. The Deep Metric Algorithm is designed to operate as a physical interpretation probabilistic model that captures network-wide traffic patterns. Unlike traditional methods that rely solely on current traffic states observed at specific intervals, this algorithm leverages an initially expensive set of measurements to construct a network-specific traffic model. The algorithm's innovation lies in its ability to utilize this network-specific model alongside readily available, less expensive measurements, thereby significantly improving the accuracy of traffic predictions. By employing the Deep Metric Algorithm, the system can predict traffic fluctuations over observed links but also extend its predictions to unobserved links. This is a crucial advancement as it enables the system to offer more comprehensive insights into network behavior, even where direct measurements might be limited. One notable strength of the proposed Deep Metric Algorithm is its demonstrated applicability across various traffic periods within the same network. This adaptability ensures that the learned model remains effective over time, showcasing its potential utility in optimizing network performance as it evolves. The algorithm's predictive capabilities, coupled with its ability to adapt to changing network conditions, position it as a valuable tool for load-aware resource management and predictive control, thereby contributing to the efficient management of multi-provider networks in the evolving cloud landscape.
