For a large class of non-delay-critical applications (e.g., buffered video streaming or data transfer from cloud services to local devices), end-to-end throughput becomes the most crucial key performance indicator (KPI). In cellular networks, the achievable end-user throughput (the maximum throughput a user will get when attempting to download as much data as possible) is a spatiotemporal function, and its estimation poses a challenging and as-yet unsolved problem. The ability to accurately predict achievable throughput in a given location and time interval would, for example, allow mobile operators to further optimize their networks and design more personalized offers for the customers, or allow end-users with mobile broadband modems to make more informed decisions when selecting a ... toggle 3 keywords
