The mobile traffic in cellular networks is increasing in a steady rate as we go intoa future where we are connected to the internet practically all the time in one wayor another. To map the mobile traffic and the volume pressure on the base stationduring different time periods, it is useful to have the ability to predict the trafficvolumes within cellular networks. The data in this work consists of 4G cellular trafficdata spanning over a 7 day coherent period, collected from cells in a moderately largecity. The proposed method in this work is ARIMA modeling, in both original formand with an extension where the coefficients of the ARIMA model are re-esimated byintroducing some user characteristic variables. The re-estimated coefficients produceslightly lower forecast errors in general than a isolated ARIMA model where thevolume forecasts only depends on time. This implies that the forecasts can besomewhat improved when we allow the influence of these variables to be a part ofthe model, and not only the time series itself.
