Multi-Step Traffic Prediction for Multi-Period Planning in Optical Networks (2404.08314v1)
Published 12 Apr 2024 in cs.NI and cs.LG
Abstract: A multi-period planning framework is proposed that exploits multi-step ahead traffic predictions to address service overprovisioning and improve adaptability to traffic changes, while ensuring the necessary quality-of-service (QoS) levels. An encoder-decoder deep learning model is initially leveraged for multi-step ahead prediction by analyzing real-traffic traces. This information is then exploited by multi-period planning heuristics to efficiently utilize available network resources while minimizing undesired service disruptions (caused due to lightpath re-allocations), with these heuristics outperforming a single-step ahead prediction approach.
