An enhanced self-learning-based clustering scheme for real-time traffic data distribution in wireless networks

Abstract

The process of examining the data flow over the internet to identify abnormalities in wireless network performance is known as network traffic analysis. When analyzing network traffic data, traffic classification becomes an important task. The traffic data classification is used to determine whether data in network traffic is in real-time or not. This analysis controls network traffic data in a network and allows for efficient network performance improvement. Real-time and non-real-time data are effectively classified from the given input data set using data mining clustering and classification algorithms. The proposed work focuses on the performance of traffic data classification with high clustering accuracy and low Classification Time (CT). This research work is carried out to fill the gap in the existing network traffic classification algorithms. However, the traffic data classification remained unaddressed for performing the network traffic analysis effectively. Then, we proposed an Enhanced Self-Learning-based Clustering Scheme (ESLCS) using an enhanced unsupervised algorithm and adaptive seeding approach to improve the classification accuracy while performing the real-time traffic data distribution in wireless networks. Test-bed results demonstrate that the proposed model enhances the clustering accuracy and True Positive Rate (TPR) effectively as well as reduces the CT time and Communication Overhead (CO) substantially to compare with the peer-existing routing techniques.
