Goal-oriented probabilistic forecasting for dynamic PRB allocation in 5G networks

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 15, 2026 · UTC

Efficient physical resource block (PRB) allocation in 5G networks requires accurate demand forecasting. Conventional methods minimize symmetric error metrics (MAE, RMSE), ignoring the operational cost asymmetry where under-provisioning (service degradation) is far costlier than over-provisioning (wasted capacity). We propose a goal-oriented probabilistic forecasting framework that aligns model training with the operator's decision-making objectives. Specifically, we train DeepAR and Temporal Fusion Transformer (TFT) models using the Pinball Loss function and derive the optimal allocation quant
