Deep Neural Network Based Dynamic Resource Reallocation of BBU Pools in 5G C-RAN ROADM Networks

An LSTM network is developed to predict BBU pool traffic in 5G C-RAN ROADM networks. 5G throughput improvement and resource savings are observed with resource reallocation by reconfiguring the optical network 30 minutes in advance.
