Network traffic forecasting combination model based on wavelet transform and chaos algorithm.

Based on wavelet transform and chaos algorithm, this paper presents a Network Traffic Forecasting Combination Model. The model introduces chaos algorithm for training the BP network and optimizing weights so as to avoid gradient descent algorithm that slowly converges and likely obtains local optimum results. Before forecasting, we first perform wavelet decomposition on the pretreated flow. Then, we utilize the FARIMA model and the improved Elman neural network model to forecast according to approximate components and detailed components, respectively. At last, we use the combination model for the network traffic forecasting. Simulation results confirmed the improved accuracy of the model, and comparing to traditional FARIMA model and wavelet neural network (WNN) model, the model can reduce the deviation.
