Traffic generation methods based on generative adversarial neural networks
Traffic generation in network simulation is crucial for ensuring simulation effectiveness.Currently,common network traffic generators are typically based on a certain random model,where the generated traffic adheres to a specified random distribu-tion.However,determining a realistic random model for actual network traffic is often challenging,leading to biases in current models when simulating real network traffic.To address these issues,this paper proposes a spatiotemporal-correlated traffic gener-ation model based on Generative Adversarial Neural Networks(GANs).The encoding method for network traffic data is im-proved,and Z-score is applied to process traffic data,making the data tend toward a standard normal distribution.Additionally,a measurement method for evaluating the spatiotemporal correlation of network traffic is introduced.Experimental results indicate that,compared to existing baseline generation methods,the proposed approach averages 9%improvement in measures of authen-ticity and correlation.
