These techniques forecast the traffic generation patterns of individual IoT devices in the coverage area of an IoT gateway and schedule the MAC-layer resources at the gateway in advance based on these forecasts. Although predictive solutions have achieved high network performance, a key problem is that their performance depends highly on the performance of forecasters. In this paper, in order to minimize the effects of forecasting errors on the performance of predictive networks, we develop a subspace based forecasting algorithm called “Motion On a Subspace under Adaptive Learning rate (MOSAL)”. First, our algorithm trains a forecaster by minimizing the performance loss of an IoT network based on the emulation of an Application-Specific Error Function by an Artificial Neural Network. Second, the algorithm moves close to a subspace of the forecasting errors while it aims to maximize network throughput. Our results show that MOSAL achieves a throughput performance that surpasses the performance of commonly used standard gradient descent training algorithms at a reasonable execution time. These results open the way to the deployment of predictive solutions at IoT Gateways in practice in the near future.</p>
