A server may obtain teacher artificial intelligence (AI) models from source base stations; obtain target traffic data from a target base station; obtain an integrated teacher prediction based on the target traffic data by integrating teacher prediction results of the teacher AI models based on teacher importance weights; obtain a student AI model that is trained to converge a student loss on the target traffic data; update the teacher importance weights to converge a teacher loss between a student prediction of the student AI model on the target traffic data, and the integrated teacher prediction of the teacher AI models on the target traffic data; update the student AI model based on the updated teacher importance weights being applied to the teacher prediction results of the teacher AI models; and predict a communication traffic load of the target base station using the updated student AI model.

Method of load forecasting via knowledge distillation, and an apparatus for the same

A server may be provided to obtain a load balancing artificial intelligence (AI) model for a plurality of base stations in a communication system. The server may obtain teacher models based on traffic data sets collected from the base stations, respectively; perform a policy rehearsal process including obtaining student models based on knowledge distillation from the teacher models, obtaining an ensemble student model by ensembling the student models, and obtaining a policy model by interacting with the ensemble student mode; provide the policy model to each of the base stations for a policy evaluation of the policy model; and based on a training continue signal being received from at least one of the base stations as a result of the policy evaluation, update the ensemble student model and the policy model by performing the policy rehearsal process on the student models.

Method of performing communication load balancing with multi-teacher reinforcement learning, and an apparatus for the same

A server for predicting a future traffic load of a base station is provided. The server may obtain a first prediction model based on traffic data collected from the base station for a first period of time, obtain a second prediction model based on traffic data collected from the same base station for a second period time, and also based on knowledge transferred from the first prediction model. Each of the first prediction model and the second prediction model may include an encoder module, a reconstruction module, and a prediction module which are connected to form two paths, an encoder-reconstruction path and an encoder-prediction path, to preserve more information of historic traffic data.

Method of communication traffic prediction via continual learning with knowledge distillation, and an apparatus for the same

A method is provided. The method includes receiving a first dimension set, extracting a first latent feature set from the first dimension set, training a first base predictor based on the first feature set, generating a second dimension set based on the first dimension set, the second dimension set having fewer dimensions than the first dimension set, extracting a second latent feature set from the second dimension set, training a second base predictor based on the second feature set, and generating a traffic prediction based on the first base predictor and the second base predictor.
