Data Matters: The Case of Predicting Mobile Cellular Traffic
Accurate predictions of base stations' traffic load are essential to mobile cellular operators and their users as they support the efficient use of network resources and sustain smart cities and roads. Traditionally, cellular network time-series have been considered for this prediction task. More recently, exogenous factors such as points of presence and other environmental knowledge have been introduced to facilitate cellular traffic forecasting. In this study, we focus on smart roads and explore road traffic measures to model the processes underlying cellular traffic generation with the goal to improve prediction performance. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that by employing road flow and speed, in addition to cellular network metrics, cellular load prediction errors can be reduced by as much as 56.5 %.
