+
<img src="images/network.png" alt="Base station, cells, and beams" />
|
57 |
+
</p>
|
58 |
|
59 |
+
Precise forecasting of network traffic is critical for:
|
60 |
+
- Optimizing **network management**
|
61 |
+
- Enhancing **resource allocation efficiency**
|
62 |
|
63 |
+
This task is of both **practical and theoretical importance** to researchers in networking and machine learning, offering a strong benchmark for state-of-the-art (SOTA) time series models.
