Internet Time-delay Prediction Based on Autoregressive and Neural Network Model

Abstract

Internet time-delay prediction plays a key role in improving dynamic performances for many real-time applications, especially for Internet-based control systems. Therefore, ideal prediction approach for Internet time-delay must be investigated emphatically. In this paper, after analyzing Internet communication features, the autoregressive model and adaptive linear neural network model are adopted to predict the uncertain Internet time-delay. The simulation results for time-delay prediction illustrate that the autoregressive model and the adaptive linear neural network provide two kind of promising ways to predict the Internet time-delay. The resulting statistics of simulation experiments also illustrates that the adaptive linear neural network has a better prediction performance than autoregressive model
