Goal • predict where and when BS upgrading must take place in a WiMAX network • statistical data processing in the wavelets domain ISSCS 2009, Iasi, Romania
Papagiannaki & alls, 2003 Wire network 1.5 years of data with 15 minutesgranularity ISSCS 2009, Iasi, Romania
Pros & cons • Potential of generalization • Accurate forecasting • High volume of data required • Stationary network ISSCS 2009, Iasi, Romania
Proposed Method Wireless network containing 64 BSs, 11 weeks of data with 15 minutes granularity. ISSCS 2009, Iasi, Romania
Initial Observations The weekly traffic for a BS (arbitrarily selected). The corresponding power spectral density. Analyzing the first week of the considered period for all the 64 BSs we have found a periodicity of 24 hours in 77% of cases. ISSCS 2009, Iasi, Romania

Validation ISSCS 2009, Iasi, Romania
Parameters Extraction ISSCS 2009, Iasi, Romania
ARIMA MODELING ISSCS 2009, Iasi, Romania
Long Term Trend Estimation Applying the Box-Jenkins methodology for the first difference of the time series c6 in our example we have obtained an ARIMA(011) model for the overall tendency: ISSCS 2009, Iasi, Romania
Where and when an upgrading must take place ? ISSCS 2009, Iasi, Romania

Conclusions • The proposed methodology is capable to isolate the overall long term trend and to identify those components that significantly contribute to its variability. • Predictions based on approximations of those components provide accurate estimates with a minimal computational overhead.
