Traffic congestion forecasting in WCDMA networks
Kejing Zhang, LAURIE G. CUTHBERT · 2008
Congestion control is considered as a key factor in radio resource management. Early detection and rapid resolution network congestion can considerably improve network capacity. Consequently, much research has been carried out on predicting traffic patterns in 3G networks. This paper introduces a traffic forecasting method based on maximum likelihood estimation, which is able to predict traffic patterns when there is random movement of users.
