Abstract
The explosion of traffic brings the challenges for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to make a profit with the high cost of infrastructure and increased competition. This calls for economic mechanisms that can enable providers to allocate on-demand resources through the prediction of traffic volumes and adjust the price. In this paper, we analyze the network traffic pattern of mobile data and make an accurate prediction of traffic volumes through ARIMA and LSTM. Based on the analysis, we then suggest a scalable price strategy for ISPs to satisfy the various requirements of customers.
