Network Demand Prediction is of great importance to network planning and dynamically allocating network resources based on the predicted demand, this can be very challenging as it is affected by many complex factors, including spatial dependencies, temporal dependencies, and external factors (such as regions’ functionality and crowd patterns as it will be shown in this paper). We propose a deep learning based approach called, ST-DenNetFus, to predict network demand (i.e. uplink and downlink throughput) in every region of a city. ST-DenNetFus is an end to end architecture for capturing unique properties from spatio-temporal data. ST-DenNetFus employs various branches of dense neural networks for capturing temporal closeness, period, and trend properties. For each of these properties, dense convolutional neural units are used for capturing the spatial properties of the network demand across …
