A novel methodology of data analytics and modeling to evaluate LTE network performance

Big Data and LTE are two hot topics in their respective field. Is there a synergy effect between the two techniques? Traditionally various simulation based approaches are developed to study wireless network performance. However simulation has its own limitations. In this paper, the authors develop a methodology of data analytics and modeling to evaluate LTE network performance based upon traffic measurements and service growth trends. The overall model is finally validated and shows high accuracy, robustness, and reliability.
