Abstract:Traditional cellular traffic forecasting models are optimized for minimizing symmetric errors, leaving them indifferent to shifting operational priorities. To bridge this gap, we introduce BERTO, a BERT-based framework for traffic prediction and energy optimization in cellular networks. Built on transformer architectures, BERTO achieves high prediction accuracy while enabling a single fine-tuned model to operate across multiple forecasting regimes via natural-language operator prompts. By combining a Balancing Loss Function (BLF) with prompt-based conditioning, BERTO adaptively shifts its forecasting bias toward underprediction or overprediction depending on the operator's desired trade-off between power savings and service quality. This allows the same model to dynamically generate different decision-aware forecasts without retraining or modifying model parameters. Experiments on real-world datasets demonstrate that BERTO can operate across a flexible range of approximately 1.4 kW in power consumption while balancing 9x variation in service level agreement (SLA) violations, making it well suited for intelligent RAN deployments.
