Wireless cellular traffic prediction is a critical issue for researchers and practitioners in the 5G/B5G field. However, it is very challenging since the wireless cellular traffic usually show high nonlinearities and complex patterns. Most existing wireless cellular traffic prediction methods, lacking abilities of modeling the dynamic spatial-temporal correlations of wireless cellular traffic data, thus cannot yield satisfactory prediction results. To improve the accuracy of 5G/B5G cellular network traffic prediction, more cross-domain data was considered, a cross-service and regional fusion transfer learning strategy (Fusion-transfer) based on the spatial-temporal cross-domain neural network model (STC-N) was proposed. Multiple cross-domain datasets were integrated. The training accuracy of the target service domain based on the data characteristics of its source service domain according to the similarity between services and the similarity between different regions was improved, so the predictive performance of the model was enhanced. The experimental results show that the prediction accuracy of the traffic prediction model is significantly improved after the integration of multiple cross-domain datasets, the RMSE performance of SMS, Call and Internet service can be improved about 8.39%, 13.76% and 5.7% respectively. In addition, compared with the existing transfer strategy, the RMSE of the three services can be improved about 2.48%~13.19%.
