China Telecom and Chinese vendor ZTE have announced a proof of concept of a self-adaptive network that would be targeted at very high capacity zones such as stadiums. The two companies call their invention a self-adaptive spatio-temporal cognitive network, whose underlying technology is based on ZTE’s Radio Composer. The software aligns network resources with actual traffic distribution in a crowded, high capacity environment, moving those cloud-based resources in anticipation of changes in traffic patterns. That prediction is done by observing the location changes of user groups across different time periods, using base stations, and applying LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) algorithms to analyze traffic distribution based on a physical grid layout of base stations. Having made its predictions,…
