Intelligent prediction method of virtual network function resource capacity for polymorphic network service slicing by Julong LAN, Di ZHU, Dan LI

“…Results: From the experimental results, the prediction performance of this method is mainly reflected in the following aspects:1.The prediction accuracy of this method is stable.The primary reason is that the method adopts a reasonable spatiotemporal feature extraction structure, which can effectively deal with both the spatial structure with non-Euclidean features and the time series features with contextual dependencies.The secondary reason is that the weighted preprocessing process of the input data stream sequence in this method effectively avoids the characteristic mutation caused by the burst flow in the network,and can truly reflect the changing trend of the data stream and slicing capacity requirements, thus obtaining stable prediction effect. 2. …”
