Background. Telecommunications developments lead to new mobile network technologies and especially 5G, which has only recently been launched, sixth generation of which is already under active development. The development of new technologies influence on both types of mobile traffic (V2V, IoT) and leads to the significant increase in the volume of existing traffic types. Currently, existing methods of traffic processing are not adapted to such changes, which may lead to a deterioration in the quality of service.
Objective. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms to solve the task of traffic classification in mobile networks in real time.
Methods. The method of solving the problem of increasing the efficiency of information processing is the introduction of new algorithms for traffic classification and prioritization. In this regard, the paper presents the urgent task of analyzing the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms to solve the task of traffic classification in mobile networks in real time.
Results. Comparison indicated the best accuracy of the ANN algorithm that was achieved with the number of hidden layers of the network equal to 200. Also, the research results showed that different applications have different recognition accuracy, which does not depend on the total number of packets in the dataset.
Conclusions. This proceeding solves the urgent problem of increasing the efficiency of the mobile communication system through the use of machine learning algorithms for traffic classification. In this regard, it can be concluded that the most promising is the application of algorithms based on ANN. In future the aspect of anomaly detection based on traffic classification and traffic pattern preparation should be investigated, as this process allows detecting attacks to network infrastructure and increase mobile network security.
