Abstract

Numerous research in the literature has convincingly demonstrated the widespread existence of self-similarity in network traffic. Self-similar traffic has infinite variance and long range dependence (LRD) which makes conventional traffic prediction method inappropriate. In this paper, we proposed a traffic prediction method by combining RLS (recursive least square) adaptive filtering with wavelet transform. Wavelet has many advantages when used in traffic analysis. Fundamentally, this is due to the non-trivial fact that the analyzing wavelet family itself possesses a scale invariant feature. It is also proved that wavelet coefficients are largely decorrelated and only has short range dependence (SRD). In this paper, We investigate the computation characteristics of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and shows that the $\grave{a } \ trous$ algorithm is more favorable in time series prediction. The proposed method is applied to real network traffic. Experiment results show that more accurate traffic prediction can be achieved by the proposed method.
