Spectrum occupancy prediction using LSTM models for cognitive radio applications.

In recent days, mobile traffic prediction has become a prominent solution for spectrum management-related operations for the next-generation cellular networks in Cognitive Radio (CR) applications. To achieve this, the binary dataset has been created from the captured data by monitoring the spectrum activities of nine different Long Term Evolution (LTE) frequency channels. We propose a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) based Spectrum Occupancy Prediction (SOP) approach for modelling infrastructure-based cellular traffic systems.
