Abstract
Video bandwidth forecasting can help optimize the transmission of video traffic over optical access networks. In this paper, we propose the use of a nonlinear auto-regressive (NAR) neural network model for forecasting H.265 video bandwidth requirements to optimize video transmission within Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPONs). The video's constituent I, P, and B frames are forecast separately to improve model forecasting accuracy. The proposed forecasting model is able to forecast H.265 encoded High-Definition videos with an accuracy exceeding 90%. In addition, using the video bandwidth requirement predictions as grant requests within EPONs improved the efficiency of dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA). The use of nonlinear auto-regressive neural network grant sizing predictions within EPONs reduced the video packet queueing delay significantly when the network was saturated near capacity.
