Modeling Dynamic Traffic Demand Behavior in Telecommunication Networks

Abstract:
Technologies such as 5G and IoT will give rise to novel network services that will drastically change the behavior of traffic demands in future telecommunication networks which will have to become more flexible and more efficient to deal with the increasing traffic volatility. In order to study the effects of these changes, sufficiently precise modeling approaches which reflect the dynamic behavior of diverse network services are required. In this work we present such an approach and demonstrate its applicability to the study of wide area networks by an example evaluating the resource requirements of a multi-layer network through optimization heuristics.
