Outline

This paper aims to address the high energy consumption of existing machine learning models in efficiently processing and predicting rapidly increasing mobile data. To this end, we studied mobile traffic prediction using energy-efficient, bio-inspired models, Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) and Echo State Networks (ESNs). Using data from three Barcelona locations, we compared and analyzed the predictive performance and energy consumption of SNNs, ESNs, CNNs, and MLPs. We also evaluated their performance and energy efficiency in centralized and distributed (federated) environments. Our results demonstrate that SNNs and ESNs can significantly reduce energy consumption while maintaining prediction accuracy comparable to existing models, demonstrating particularly high energy efficiency in distributed environments. This suggests the potential of bio-inspired models for sustainable and privacy-preserving mobile traffic prediction.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Experimentally demonstrated that biomimetic models (SNN, ESN) are more energy efficient than conventional machine learning models (CNN, MLP).
We suggest that mobile traffic prediction using SNN and ESN can contribute to sustainable network operation.
We demonstrate the potential for improved energy efficiency and privacy protection through the application of bio-inspired models in a distributed environment (federated learning).
Limitations:
The dataset used in this study is limited to three areas in Barcelona. Further research is needed across diverse regions and network environments.
Since only a specific type of biomimetic model was considered, a comparative analysis of the performance of other biomimetic models is required.
Detailed descriptions of the specific indicators and measurement methods for energy efficiency assessment may be lacking.
