摘要

Link prediction is a vital component for the optimization and management of telecommunications networks. However, understanding the structure, dynamics, and hidden communication patterns within phone call networks poses a significant challenge, due to the complexity of user interactions and the lack of predefined information regarding their relationships. This paper explores the application of graph neural networks (GNNs) in link prediction, focusing on two prominent models: Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) and Graph Attention Network (GAT). By utilizing call detail records (CDRs), a graphical representation of the network is constructed, and the performance of these models in predicting future links is evaluated. Our results demonstrate that the GCN model achieves a maximum accuracy of 0.8636, while the GAT attains an accuracy of 0.4943. Furthermore, the impact of community structure on link prediction performance is examined, suggesting that incorporating community information could enhance model accuracy.
